内容説明
Published posthumously, this study of Aristotle is thoroughly rewarding and will only increase McCabe's reputation as one of Britain's finest theologians of recent years.The revival of interest in Aquinas has run simultaneously with the rise of interest in Aristotle, on whose philosophy Aquinas based his own. "On Aquinas" is a masterly work of exposition written with breathtaking clarity. By the use of simple modern analogy McCabe really brings Aquinas' thought to life and underlines the crucial influence of Aquinas on our own contemporary thought. It is rare to find a work of philosophical exposition which is exciting to read. Even those who are unfamiliar with Aquinas will find this book gripping to read. No wonder therefore that McCabe's gifts are so greatly admired by people as diverse as P.J. Kavanagh (poet) Anthony Kenny (philosopher) Terry Eagleton (literary and cultural critic) and Alasdair MacIntyre, whose book "After Virtue" has had such enormous influence today. "On Aquinas" can only enhance McCabe's reputation.

Excellent Overview of Aquinas
2008/9/5
形式:ペーパーバック
Editor Brian Davies writes in the introduction: "The lectures presented in this volume were delivered as an introduction to the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. But they present a highly personal interpretation of the Saint, and contain many original and unexpected developments of his ideas."
Indeed. McCabe's conversational tone is perfect for the reader unfamiliar with the thought of the medieval theologian. In particular, I think McCabe's approach will appeal to students in science who haven't had any exposure to philosophy, but would like to get a sense of Aquinas' depth, and how his philosophy remains more than just relevant.

Correcting an injustice
2012/4/9
形式:ペーパーバック
I wonder if the review by Keiser isn't a bit uncharitable. First of all, I should say that I have not yet read this book by Herbert McCabe. However I am familiar with Aquinas, I am a (lay) Dominican and perhaps most important of all I knew Herbert reasonably well. One should remember that most of the published books by Herbert (with the exception, mainly of 'God Matters') were not written by him. They were put together after his death from his unpublished papers. Herbert was a perfectionist who was extremely wary of publishing his lectures, talks, sermons and of course his working notes. We often write in our notes things that we would not be prepared to put into our final published and public works. That said, while one might sometimes dislike Herbert's politics, his views on the institution of the Church, and perhaps too his views on some moral issues Herbert knew only too well that there are many different ways of reading Aquinas (see Fergus Kerr's 'After Aquinas'), and his contemporary way of using Aquinas in the context of analytic philosophy was only one approach to the Angelic Doctor. Herbert was not really a historian, and knotty historical issues of the exact intepretation of Aquinas in his historical context - areas in which e.g. Torrell is the master - were not his primary interest. For Herbert, the issue was interpreting Aquinas for analytic philosophy and for the modern (mainly philosophical) world. And in that he was superbly successful. Perhaps more importantly, he has been enormously influential. That is why any book by Herbert McCabe, even a book put together from his notes, is significant and worth reading even if we disagree with him. To that extent I think Keiser's review does Herbert an injustice, and even though - as I say - I have not yet read the book I think the injustice should be corrected by giving the book the five stars that it will certainly deserve.

Smart, reliable introduction to Aquinas
2008/9/27
形式:ペーパーバック
Herbert McCabe, O.P. was one of the great, yet often unheralded, twentieth century commentators on Aquinas. Other great thinkers who have acknowledged McCabe's positive influence on their thought include: Alasdair MacIntyre, Stanley Hauerwas, Anthony Kenny, Terry Eagleton, and Seamus Heaney. In this set of lectures, McCabe shows how Aquinas was a careful and original philosopher who argued for positions that remain defensible today (even in light of important innovations in contemporary philosophy). Above all, McCabe shows that Aquinas was neither dogmatic nor authoritarian, and grounded his philosophical positions on sound reasoning and argumentation; and thus McCabe does us the great service of helping to 'rescue' Thomas from some of today's more dogmatic and simple-minded 'Thomists'.
