Book Synopsis
Reflecting the highest standards of philological and textual scholarship accompanied by judicious philosophic analysis, Pasquale Porro explores the philosophical issues in each of Thomas Aquinas' writings, which he interprets within the parameters of the temporal circumstances and institutional imperatives of their composition and in respect of the authoritative texts that Thomas encountered.

Trade Review
“Biographically situating this thinker’s thought and works in time, place, and philosophical and theological context, Porro accomplishes his ambitious task with lucid accounts of major philosophical teachings spelling out the reasoning of Aquinas and Avicenna in the development of his teachings throughout his career. Porro’s unique contextual approach to the writings of Aquinas and his astute analyses of arguments make this work both an invaluable introductory volume for students and at the same time an insightful overview for philosophers, theologians, and historians of ideas.” – Richard C. Taylor, Marquette University
