Rezensionen

"...a splendid piece of work that does just what the series seems intended to do. It also fills a notable gap. There is nothing to compare with it currently in print in English....All of the authors...are well known and respected for their knowledge of Aquinas's writings and for their ability to comment on them. And all of them have produced good and solid essays for this volume--essays that will help beginners (not to mention the so-called 'professionals') to get a handle on Aquinas....Anyone looking for surveys on the topics on which they write will not, I think, find anything in print that is as concise, readable, comprehensive, intelligent, and accurate as what they offer in this volume." Brian Davies, Philosophical Review
