PHIL 120S - Introduction to the Philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas

Credits: 3
An introduction to the philosophy of the “Common Doctor” of the Church, so-called because the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas applies to every aspect of theology. This course explores the many and varied themes presented in St. Thomas’ Summa Theologiae, with a particular emphasis on his analysis of being; distinguishing essence and existence (essential for understanding his theology of God); the difference between matter and form (critical for sacramental theology); and the difference between substance and accidents, the philosophical foundation for transubstantiation.
