CLARK Over 600 pages Image Books edition: 1972 Image Books edition published November 1972 Copyright © 1972 by Mary T. Clark " An Aquinas Reader contains in one closely-knit volume representative selections that reflect every aspect of Aquinas's thought and philosophy. Edited by Mary T. Clark, with an in-depth Introduction offering biographical data as well as an overview of Aquinas's development, the book also contains special topical introductions on each major area. The anthology, then, provides the general reader with an overall survey of one of the most outstanding thinkers of all times, and reveals - through his writings - the major influence he has had on many great thinkers throughout the ages. " " The Reader is divided into five sections: Reality (Metaphysics); God and the World; Man; Morality; and Religion. " " Selections from Aquinas's writings dealing with such perennial human concerns as existence, creation, God, love, knowledge, freedom, immortality, sin, ethics, law, politics and virtue are systematically presented within these major divisions. In addition, there are included selections from his hitherto unpublicized commentaries; commentaries on the works of Aristotle and Plato; and even a sampling of his religious poetry. What is evident throughout is the sweeping range and organic unity of Thomistic thought. The extensive Bibliography will prove indispensable to the interested student or scholar seeking a broader understanding of Aquinas's insights and his impact on human thought. " " In short, AN AQUINAS READER offers an unrivalled perspective of the full scope and rich variety of Aquinas's thought.
