This work proposes a new proof of the existence of God, based on a development of elements found in Patristic and Scholastic philosophical tradition, in particular of St Augustine, St Anselm and St Thomas Aquinas. Traditionally, the existence of God has been seen in relation to the essence of Truth: its unchanging and eternal essence is used as a proof of the eternal existence of a personal God.The strategy of our demonstration is to investigate the concept of Truth from the perspective of a definition, which can be called inclusive: it proposes to formulate, complementary to formal, purely abstract definitions of Truth, also a definition that includes the real personal elements that are necessarily implied in the abstract definition. It shows the necessity of including in it, in the first place, the primary Real Being, God, which is also the primary Intellect; and, related to it, our finite, human intellect, not necessary in itself, but of course essential to our very nature.

This book is a complete and systematic exposition of scholastic philosophy based upon the sound principles of Aristotle and St Thomas Aquinas, bringing it into contact with the facts of modern science. The considerations which have guided the author are two: he wished both to modernize and popularize the Philosophia Perennis. The book covers philosophy of nature, psychology, ontology and metaphysics, and natural theology.

A Manual of Neo-Scholastic Philosophy

Baschab, Charles R.

The scholastic philosopher is interested in definition for a different reason than the lexicographer and linguist. The philosopher is trying to learn things. He defines, after investigating reality, in an attempt to describe reality clearly and to sum up some aspect of his understanding of reality. Hence, we find our scholastic philosophers adopting as a main feature of their method this insistence on defining, on precise and detailed explanation of their definitions, and on proving that their definitions do correctly express what a nature or activity is.This dictionary of the language of scholastic philosophy has been fitted to the needs of beginners and undergraduate students of the subject and has not been previously available in English.This is a reprint of the 1956 edition.

Reference

The object of this book is to meet and combat false conceptions, to co-ordinate true notions, and so to furnish the reader with some general information on the old and the new scholasticism. The advantage of the book is its two-sided perspective that contains historical investigations about the ancient sources of the scholastic philosophy and the decline from it. But it also contains a systematic perspective by which the doctrines of the scholastic philosophizing are collected systematically. Therefore, this book is a scholarly introduction into the scholastic philosophy dedicated to undergraduates.

An Introduction to Scholastic Philosophy: Medieval & Modern (Scholastic Editions – Editiones Scholasticae)

Wulf, Maurice De

The point of view, which we choose for our treatment in these lectures, is that of the relational aspects in mediaeval philosophy - a study which relates the philosophy to the other factors in that civilization taken as an organic whole. We shall be concerned therefore less with isolated personalities than with the general philosophical mind of the age, its way of conceiving life and reality.

Cardinal Mercier's Manual of Modern Scholastic Philosophy is a standard work, prepared at the Higher Institute of Philosophy, Louvain, mainly for the use of clerical students in Catholic Seminaries. Though undoubtedly elementary, it contains a clear, simple, and methodological exposition of the principles and problems of every department of philosophy, and its appeal is not to any particular class, but broadly human and universal. Volume I includes a general introduction to philosophy and sections on cosmology, psychology, criteriology, and metaphysics or ontology.

A Manual of Modern Scholastic Philosophy: Volume I: Cosmology, Psychology, Epistemology, Ontology (Scholastic Editions – Editiones Scholasticae)

Mercier, Francois Joseph

This book represents the attempt to provide students on a one semester introductory course in logic with:• A handbook on the fundamentals of the science, brief and succinct enough to be practical and yet substantial enough to provide the solid foundation of the traditional from which to approach the mysteries of modern developments in the field.• A working knowledge of the science, out of which may be built the personal equipment with which students can solve the problems posed by the impact of the new on the old in the field of logic by themselves.• Sufficient problem material to enable students to learn the use of logic, so that they can logically reconcile in their own minds the new and the old, and the modern and the traditional.

Thomists have have traditionally presented philosophy and theology in St Thomas Aquinas' own native scholastic methodology. For centuries, this methodology allowed philosophical and theological disciplines to advance by understanding science in the Aristotelian sense. Hugon's work uses this methodology, offering formal arguments with clearly identifiable premises and conclusions, and formal objections with clearly identifiable distinctions, etc, covering all of speculative philosophy. This manual is a true work of synthesis of seven centuries of Thomistic tradition. This translation now provides English speakers with an introduction to Thomistic philosophy that follows the scholastic scientific methodology faithfully, thus providing them with a solid means of learning the all-but-forgotten art of scholastic disputation. 'Cosmology, one volume in Thomas Hugons multi-volume work, covers the first part of natural philosophy, considering the physical world from the point of view of its efficient, material, formal, and final causes.

Cosmology (Scholastic Editions – Editiones Scholasticae)

Hugon, Édouard

This book is an attempt to present the traditional Scholastic philosophy of man's nature in a fresh light, from a point of view that may make is more acceptable to the modern scientific mind. This should please the philosopher looking for a new presentation, and the psychologist looking for philosophical orientation. The object is not to dispense with either psychology or philosophy: marriage is never the reduction of one to the other-vive la difference! That the two are compatible is the theme of this book. It is up to the reader to decide whether the result is a happy mating or a mismatch.
