In this final edition of his classic study of St. Thomas Aquinas, Etienne Gilson presents the sweeping range and organic unity of Thomistic philosophical thought. The philosophical thinking of Aquinas is the result of reason being challenged to relate to many theological conceptions of the Christian tradition. Gilson carefully reviews how Aquinas grapples with the relation itself of faith and reas...

Among the classics of the history of philosophy, the Scienza nuova (New Science) by Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) was largely neglected and generally misunderstood during the authors lifetime. From the nineteenth century onwards Vicos views found a wider audience, and today his influence is widespread in the humanities and social sciences. The New Science is often taught in courses at colleges and...

The Semantics of Analogy is the first book-length interpretive study in English of Thomas de Vio Cajetans (1469?-1534) classic treatise on analogy. Written in 1498, De Nominum Analogia (On the Analogy of Names) has long been treated as Cajetans attempt to systematize Aquinass theory of analogy. A traditional interpretation regarded it as the official Thomistic treatise on analogy, but current scho...

In this book (a translation of his well-known work Lesprit de la philosophie medievale), Etienne Gilson undertakes the task of defining the spirit of mediaeval philosophy. Gilson asks whether we can form the concept of a Christian philosophy and whether mediaeval philosophy is not its most adequate historical expression. He maintains that the spirit of mediaeval philosophy is the spirit of Christi...

MacIntyres project, here as elsewhere, is to put up a fight against philosophical relativism. . . . The current form is the incommensurability, so-called, of differing standpoints or conceptual schemes. Mr. MacIntyre claims that different schools of philosophy must differ fundamentally about what counts as a rational way to settle intellectual differences. Reading between the lines, one can see th...
