Aquinas Thomas

Synopsis:
The Treatise on Human Nature Translated, with introduction and Commentary by Robert Pasnau

"This very readable and accurate translation of the so-called Treatise on Human Nature strikes the right balance between literal rendition of Aquinas' Latin and naturalness of English expression, and thus will be of use both to new students of Aquinas and to those familiar with the original Latin. The commentary on the text should make the translation especially suitable for use in courses on Aquinas' philosophy of human nature and theory of knowledge."---Deborah Black, Professor of Philosophy, University of Toronto

The Treatise on the Divine Nature Translated, with Commentary, by Brian J. Shanley, O.P. Introduction by Robert Pasnau

"Shanley's translation is clear, idiomatic, and accurate. [...] [His] commentary is lucid, well informed, clearly written, and, given its word count, very comprehensive. Shanley homes in on just what one would look for in a volume like the present. Hence we find him explaining Aquinas's technical terms and showing how bits of Summa Theologiae I, 1-13 connect with each other. He also relates Aquinas to previous and contemporary thinkers with whom Aquinas is engaging."---Brian Davies, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"That Shanley's translation-cum-commentary can open students to such a rich appropriation of Aquinas explains why I call it `superb.'"---David Burrell, The Thomist
