Author Description

""St. Thomas and the Greek Moralists"" is a book written by Vernon J. Bourke that explores the philosophical similarities and differences between the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas and the ancient Greek moralists. The book delves into the works of Aristotle, Plato, and other Greek philosophers, examining their ideas on ethics, virtue, and the nature of the human soul. Bourke compares these ideas to those put forth by St. Thomas Aquinas, a medieval Christian theologian who drew heavily upon the works of the Greeks in his own philosophical writings. Through this comparison, Bourke highlights the ways in which St. Thomas built upon and expanded upon the ideas of the Greek moralists, while also pointing out the areas in which he diverged from their teachings. With its in-depth analysis of both Greek philosophy and Christian theology, ""St. Thomas and the Greek Moralists"" is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the development of moral thought.Under The Auspices Of The Aristotelian Society Of Marquette University.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
