I discovered Josef Pieper's work entirely by accident while researching another modern philosopher. I'm very glad I did. Pieper's Guide to Thomas Aquinas was a short but solid read crammed with good information, one of the best such books on St. Thomas Aquinas that I've read.Pieper interweaves examination of Aquinas's life, works, philosophy, and theology, making this short book a biography, explanation, and critical analysis at the same time. He carefully explores Aquinas's historical context, explaining the philosophical and theological temper of the time and how Aquinas was influenced by it--and eventually how he altered it forever. Pieper is extremely well-versed in the sources and it shows--he quotes liberally both from Aquinas's huge body of work and the works of other medieval philosophers--from contemporaries like Albertus Magnus or Siger of Brabant to philosophical forebears like Boethius and St. Augustine--not to mention modern scholars. Pieper writes skilfully, never letting his examination of, say, Aquinas's epistemology bog down, or his analysis overwhelm his emphasis on St. Thomas himself.It's Pieper's portrait of Aquinas as a person that made this book especially valuable to me. Books on Aquinas tend to emphasize his intellectual output to the point of diminishing the human being behind it, so insights into Aquinas's character--his patience, intellectual voracity, dedication to God, and love and respect for ostensible enemies--were an outstanding feature.Pieper's book is very good, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it to those just beginning to study Aquinas. It's a bit difficult in places and, as a series of university-level lectures, assumes a certain about of knowledge of the medieval philosophical world on the part of the reader. In other words, the title is right--it's a guide, a book for those who already know the territory if not the trail, rather than an introduction for absolute beginners. To those looking for a good starting point, I'd recommend Aquinas for Armchair Theologians, by Timothy Renick; Thomas Aquinas: A Very Short Introduction, by Fergus Kerr; or St. Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox, by G.K. Chesterton. All three are readable, insightful, and go a little further in meeting the reader halfway than Pieper's otherwise excellent book.But if you've already been introduced and are looking for further material on Aquinas's life and thought, Pieper's book is a must-read.Highly recommended.
For an interested amateur like me, this book just hit the spot. Pieper illuminates the circumstances of Thomas' life - the well-off family with expectations that he would seek a respectable position, his university studies in Naples and his decision to join a new mendicant [begging] order. This was a critical decision for Thomas - he left the wealth and connections of his family behind and became a preacher and teacher for an order sworn to voluntary poverty. Pieper also documents enough of the world of the time. It was the violence of the crusade against the Albigensians that led St Dominic to set up his order - he saw that people would be won back to Christianity if they could receive sound teaching from men who lived like them, but not by violence or preaching from churchmen who flaunted their wealth. Speaking about how religious orders set up with great hopes later became fat and lazy - Pieper quotes a 13th century Cistercian describing the process as a tragic law: discipline engenders wealth and wealth destroys the discipline.In intellectual matters 13th century Europe was highly influenced by obtaining additional books written by the Ancient Greek Aristotle [translated from the Arabic]. Some aspects of Aristotle's thought were used to challenge Christianity - so the authorities [sometimes and inconsistently] banned them. It is fascinating that at a time when the Pope had forbidden the study of some of Aristotle's work, St Thomas, St Bonaventure and others just went on reading. Thomas' view was that where Aristotle's teaching was true, it must be reconcilable with Christianity, and if false, then one should note his views and explain why one disagreed.Pieper explains how Thomas would introduce a proposition, and then write down the strongest arguments against it that he knew, and only then address the arguments and conclude to his own view. So if one is reading Thomas one will often come across very strong and plausible arguments for a view that he didn't hold - it is his summary of the opposing views. Be careful.I found Pieper's explanation of the philosophical difference between essence and existence to be the simplest/clearest I have seen. I have seen other accounts which just left me confused. A good book.
This Kindle edition could have used someone to go over the text before it was put on the market. Whether due to it being electronically scanned or not, there are sentences that just end mid-stream and others that seem to be missing periods and words that are misspelled. Pieper's translator is excellent so I'm sure the problem lies elsewhere. Still, all and all, it is a pretty good overview on Aquinas.
The start of the book gave a decent overview of the historical setting, but I felt like the theological part at the end was more in praise of the theological system rather than a summary of it.
Shipped in good condition. Good price.
I have made other forays into Pieper's works and found them rather dry. This is much less so and seems a very good intro to St Thomas, although I am perhaps not deeply enough into the subject to be a competent judge.
A true guide.
We use this book in my Philosophy of Thomas Aquinas course in seminary formation. This book is clear and helpful.
