Aquinas on Mind
ISBN: 9780415113069 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book shows how the mature writings of Thomas Aquinas, although written in the 13th century, have much to offer the modern philosophical reader concerned with the nature of the human mind and the relationship between intellect and will, body and soul. Anthony Kenny makes accessible those parts of Aquinas' system which are of enduring value. He presupposes no knowledge of Latin or of medieval history, and relates Aquinas' system to a tradition of philosophy of mind inaugurated in the Anglo-American community by Wittgenstein and Ryle.
