Aspects of the Philosophy of Aquinas

This course aims to explore the philosophy and philosophical theology of St. Thomas Aquinas OP (ca. 1225-1274), treating with the principal distinctions in Thomistic philosophy (e.g. act and potency, matter and form, substance and accidents, essence and esse).  The course deals with living things, introducing his account of sensation and desire, before augmenting this to give an account of humans, focussing on intellect and will.  Aquinas’ natural theology will be treated, before turning to human action, the virtues and natural law.
