Groundbreaking Proposals for Understanding Human Nature

Robert Pasnau sets the philosophy in the context of ancient and modern thought, and argues for some groundbreaking proposals for understanding some of the most difficult areas of Aquinas’ thought: the relationship of soul to body, the workings of sense and intellect, the will and the passions, and personal identity.
