Recenzje

'… immensely rich … The notes and discussion as well as the line by line translation or 'simplification' of Thomas's work are extremely helpful. It must be emphasized that most of the book consists of Budziszewski's own painstaking commentary, examples, and simplification, as well as clarification of Aquinas's thought. The work is highly readable and it is strongly recommended.' Jesse Russell, The University Bookman
