Kenny reveals how the mature thought of Thomas Aquinas although conceived in the thirteenth century has much to offer our understanding of the relationship between intellect and will, body and soul today.
This book shows how the mature writings of Thomas Aquinas though written in the thirteenth century have much to offer the human mind and the relationship between intellect and will, body and soul.
` Aquinas on Mind brings out the depth and interest of the texts it discusses and should thus bring St Tonmas back in the centre of an extremely important debate which of course has ramifications well beyond the boundaries of academic philosophy.' - The Tablet
