'This book is an astounding achievement. It will not be superseded for decades. It will surely remain on the bibliography for as long as Thomas Aquinas is regarded as a major thinker; for as long as there is Western philosophy.' - Fergus Kerr, Ars Disputandi ‘This is by far the best book we have on Aquinas’s philosophy as a whole, and it will undoubtedly become a standard point of reference for anyone interested in his work’- Robert Pasnau, Mind '[Eleanore Stump] is one of the best contemporary commentators on Aquinas - perhaps even the best. She writes lucidly, with great philosophical sophistication and with an excellent ability to focus on the really critical steps in Aquinas's arguments ... if someone were to buy just one book on Aquinas, I think this should be it. It is excellent value for money and I thoroughly recommend it.' - Church Times ‘This is by far the best book we have on Aquinas’s philosophy as a whole, and it will undoubtedly become a standard point of reference for anyone interested in his work’- Robert Pasnau, Mind ‘This book is an astounding achievement. It will not be superseded for decades. It will surely remain on the bibliography for as long as Thomas Aquinas is regarded as a major thinker, for as long then as there is Western philosophy.’ - Fergus Kerr, Ars Disputandi ‘…written with such rigorous lucidity that it should deal a death-blow to the common prejudice that medieval writers are obscure, inaccessible, and unlikely to have anything pertinent to say to the modern reader.’ - E.J.
