Abstract
Teachers of Thomas Aquinas's ethical and political thought will welcome Paul Sigmund's St. Thomas Aquinas on Politics and Ethics. Sigmund's book includes an incisive introduction treating of St. Thomas's life, sources and influence, eighty densely packed pages of newly retranslated selections from Thomas's works, background texts from Aristotle, Augustine, and Pseudo-Dionysius, and over one hundred pages excerpted from the works of those whom St. Thomas has influenced and those who have interpreted his ethics and politics.
