This work is divided into three parts. In the first and most accessible chapter Kenny talks about Aquinas life and influence. In the second chapter he writes about an aspect of Aquinas thought he considers to be overestimated, his theory of 'Being'. And in the third he writes on another aspect of Aquinas thought he considers to be undervalued, his theory of ' Mind'. These last two chapters are quite difficult going, and are suitable for those who are willing to deal with ' hard and tough thinking'. ... Read More
Rating: - Very readable
Kenny's text on Aquinas is informative and to the point. If you want more than a shallow introduction to Aquinas' life and thought, this is an excellent place to begin. Like other contributions in the Past Masters series, the text offers a brief biography, articulates the main philosophical concerns, offers some criticism, then reflects on the consequences or influences of the subject under study.
