Suma de teología I: Parte I
La "Summa Theologiae" no sólo representa la cumbre de la ciencia teológica tal como se cultivaba en la universidad medieval, sino que es también obra cimera del pensamiento cristiano de todos los tiempos. En ella cristaliza, en maravillosa síntesis, todo el acervo de conocimientos teológicos, filosóficos, científicos, humanísticos y jurídicos que constituían lo más granado de la cultura en la segunda mitad del siglo XIII. En este sentido, descubrimos en esta obra un testimonio excepcional de la contribución de todos los saberes al esclarecimiento de la fe revelada. Por esta razón, la fuerza y la vitalidad de la Summa Theologiae son imperecederas y es inexcusable su lectura para quien desee conocer la teología católica. Este primer volumen abarca toda la Parte I de la Summa Theologiae. El lector encuentra aquí los tratados de Dios y de la Creación, en el que se incluye también la antropología filosófica de Sto. Tomás. El volumen va precedido de una documentada exposición sobre la novedad científica de esta obra y sus orígenes académicos, así como su inserción en el opus thomisticum. Este trabajo, al igual que las ilustrativas introducciones a los tratados y las abundantes notas explicativas de los pasajes difíciles, han sido redactados por profesores dominicos en centros de estudio en España. La traducción y las referencias a las fuentes explícitas e implícitas han sido preparadas sobre el texto de la edición crítica Leonina, que está editada por esta misma BIBLIOTECA DE AUTORES CRISTIANOS en una esmerada y manejable edición.

About the author
Thomas Aquinas
2,816 books1,241 followersPhilosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican friar and theologian of Italy and the most influential thinker of the medieval period, combined doctrine of Aristotle and elements of Neoplatonism, a system that Plotinus and his successors developed and based on that of Plato, within a context of Christian thought; his works include the
Summa contra gentiles
(1259-1264) and the
Summa theologiae
or theologica (1266-1273).
Saint Albertus Magnus taught Saint Thomas Aquinas.
People ably note this priest, sometimes styled of Aquin or Aquino, as a scholastic. The Roman Catholic tradition honors him as a "doctor of the Church."
Aquinas lived at a critical juncture of western culture when the arrival of the Aristotelian corpus in Latin translation reopened the question of the relation between faith and reason, calling into question the modus vivendi that obtained for centuries. This crisis flared just as people founded universities. Thomas after early studies at Montecassino moved to the University of Naples, where he met members of the new Dominican order. At Naples too, Thomas first extended contact with the new learning. He joined the Dominican order and then went north to study with Albertus Magnus, author of a paraphrase of the Aristotelian corpus. Thomas completed his studies at the University of Paris, formed out the monastic schools on the left bank and the cathedral school at Notre Dame. In two stints as a regent master, Thomas defended the mendicant orders and of greater historical importance countered both the interpretations of Averroës of Aristotle and the Franciscan tendency to reject Greek philosophy. The result, a new modus vivendi between faith and philosophy, survived until the rise of the new physics. The Catholic Church over the centuries regularly and consistently reaffirmed the central importance of work of Thomas for understanding its teachings concerning the Christian revelation, and his close textual commentaries on Aristotle represent a cultural resource, now receiving increased recognition.
