“What is man?…a spirit imprisoned in flesh? …an animal no different from other animals? …a machine? …a chemical compound?
In this new, idiomatic translation of St. Thomas Aquinas’ Treatise on Man, there are strikingly original ideas and shrewd observations. The Prince of Scholastic Philosophers probes deeply into the essential nature of man - his mind, its union with his body, his sensuality, his capacity for knowledge of himself and the things outside of himself.”
Paperback, vintage excellent condition.
