St. Thomas And The Greek Moralists

""St. Thomas and the Greek Moralists"" is a scholarly work written by Vernon J. Bourke, exploring the intersection of Christian theology and ancient Greek philosophy. The book focuses on the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, a medieval Christian theologian, and his engagement with the moral teachings of Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato. Bourke analyzes the similarities and differences between the two traditions, examining how Aquinas reconciled the Christian concept of divine grace with the Greek emphasis on virtue and reason. The book also delves into Aquinas' interpretation of the cardinal virtues, examining how they relate to the Greek moral virtues. This work is a valuable resource for scholars of philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, providing a nuanced understanding of the relationship between Christianity and ancient Greek philosophy.Under The Auspices Of The Aristotelian Society Of Marquette University.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
