Anđeoski naučitelj: Sveti Toma Akvinski

Jacques Maritain

The book by Jacques Maritain, a French philosopher, written in the spirit of neo-Thomism, presents Thomas as a key figure in Western thought, whose philosophy and theology offer answers to the spiritual and intellectual challenges of the modern age.

Maritain traces Thomas's life from his childhood in Naples, through his entry into the Dominican Order, to the creation of monumental works such as the Summa Theologiae. He emphasizes Thomas's efforts to reconcile faith and reason, integrating Aristotle's philosophy with Christian theology. The book emphasizes Thomas's conception of God as pure being (esse ipsum), the role of natural law, and virtue ethics, which are still relevant to moral questions today.

Maritain portrays Thomas as an "angelic teacher" for his clarity, depth, and spiritual purity, but also as a practical thinker who addressed issues of justice, society, and human rights. The book analyzes Thomas's influence on medieval thought and its revival in the 19th and 20th centuries through encyclicals such as Aeterni Patris. Maritain's style is erudite yet accessible, making complex philosophical ideas understandable.

The work is significant for understanding Thomism and its application in modern contexts, especially in ethics and politics. Maritain invites readers to reexamine the balance between the spiritual and the secular through Thomas's thought.
