About this listen

One of the most influential philosophers and theologians in the history of Western thought, St. Thomas Aquinas established the foundations for much of modern philosophy of religion, and is famous for his arguments for the existence of God. In this cogent and multifaceted introduction to the great saint's work, Edward Feser argues that one cannot fully understand Aquinas' philosophy without his theology, and vice-versa.

Covering his thoughts on the soul, natural law, metaphysics, and the interaction of faith and reason, this will prove an indispensable resource for students, experts, or the general reader.

Excellent narration

Whereas I cannot claim to have understood everything which I have heard, the task of listening was made very satisfying by the truly superb narration. The author has been very well served indeed by the narrator.

Get a narrator who can pronounce the words

Is it really so hard to get a narrator who can pronounce words like "Aristotelian" properly? This is a really fascinating book which gives an in-depth introduction to Thomistic thought, and Feser is always worth reading. Unfortunately, the audiobook is completely ruined by the shoddy pronunciation of the narrator who clearly didn't do his homework. I have given an Overall rating of 4 stars based solely on the excellent content by Feser and an ability to be able to grit one's teeth at the lack of professionalism of the narrator.

Clear explanation

This book is primarily about metaphysics - which was great for me; after being taught metaphysics for a year and not making much progress this book really brought me on. The book shows how metaphysics underpins a lot of Aquinas work. The book is around undergraduate in complexity
