Thomist History of Philosophy

(3 Sterne)

A Thomist history of philosophy, and biased from that viewpoint. Philosophical systems are in error insofar as they disagree with Aquinas. In spite of this bias, it's a fairly decent history of philosophy, though it tends to throw accusations of pantheism around way too often, which is just another way of trumpeting Aquinas as the source of all philosophical truth. The sections on Greek philosophy and modern philosophy from Descartes to Hegel are the best part of the book. Parts of the medieval section are good, while others are inaccurate and highly misleading. When Frederick Copleston, in the preface to his own history of philosophy, complained of students in Catholic universities being fed unsatisfactory summaries of the great masters of philosophy, he was probably referring to this book.

audio file needs to be trimmed

(1 Sterne)

These audio files for the preface needs to be trimmed. Way too much dead air at the end.

Excellent

(5 Sterne)

I found this book very informative.
