SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS | On Faith and Reason | 1999 Hackett Trade Paperback

Description: • For Your Consideration: • A 1999 Trade Paperback edition (VG / VG+) of: • “ON FAITH AND REASON” (Hackett Publishing Company, 1999) (Trade Paperback, First Edition Thus) • BY (SAINT) THOMAS AQUINAS • EDITED, WITH INTRODUCTIONS, BY: STEPHEN F. BROWN • ABOUT THIS TITLE: “The writing of AQUINAS collected in this anthology focus on the relationship between faith and reason, the nature of theological knowledge, the existence and attributes of GOD, and the intelligibility of such fundamental Christian doctrines as the Trinity, and the Incarnation. STEPHEN F. BROWN’s introductions discuss the world of AUGUSTINE, the world and life of AQUINAS, medieval methods of teaching, and the complex interactions of faith and reason in AQUINAS’s thought, as the newly translated works of ARISTOTLE were put to new and creative uses in the interest of faith seeking understanding.” —THE PUBLISHER • “STEPHEN BROWN of Boston College has done an extremely useful service in providing this anthology of appropriate readings on Aquinas and his views on 'faith and reason.' The selections are intelligently chosen; the introduction to the book is excellent, especially the section locating AQUINAS over against AUGUSTINE.” —IAN MARKHAM, THEOLOGICAL BOOK REVIEW • “AQUINAS sees reason and faith as two ways of knowing. ‘Reason’ covers what we can know by experience and logic alone. From reason, we can know that there is a GOD and that there is only one GOD; these truths about GOD are accessible to anyone by experience and logic alone, apart from any special revelation from GOD. “ ‘Faith’ covers what we can know by GOD’s special revelation to us (which comes through the Bible and Christian Tradition). By faith, we can know that GOD came into the world through JESUS CHRIST and that GOD is triune (FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT). These truths about GOD cannot be known by reason alone. “Faith builds on reason. Since faith and reason are both ways of arriving at truth—and since all truths are harmonious with each other—faith is consistent with reason. If we understand faith and reason correctly, there will be no conflict between what faith tells us and what reason tells us.” —HARRY J. GENSLER, HARRYHIKER (WEBSITE) • “AQUINAS worked out a highly articulated theory of theological reasoning. ST. BONAVENTURE, an immediate precursor to AQUINAS, had argued that no one could attain to truth unless he philosophizes in the light of faith. THOMAS held that our faith in eternal salvation shows that we have theological truths that exceed human reason. But he also claimed that one could attain truths about religious claims without faith, though such truths are incomplete. In the SUMMA CONTRA GENTILES, he called this a ‘a two fold truth’ about religious claims, ‘one to which the inquiry of reason can reach, the other which surpasses the whole ability of the human reason.’ No contradiction can stand between these two truths. However, something can be true for faith and false (or inconclusive) in philosophy, though not the other way around. This entails that a non-believer can attain to truth, though not to the higher truths of faith.” —INTERNET ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “ON FAITH AND REASON” AUTHOR: (SAINT) THOMAS AQUINAS EDITOR & INTRODUCER: STEPHEN F.

The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition.
