Inhaltsangabe

Thomas Aquinas’s first account of the beatific vision ‘face-to-face’, as presented in his commentary on Peter Lombard’s Sentences, integrates the theological discourse of his times with newly available philosophical reasoning of Greek and Arabic provenance. This book provides a translation of book IV, distinction 49, question 2 of Aquinas’s commentary and, in comprehensive introductions and notes, examines how Aquinas solved the most profound conceptual dilemmas of his Latin predecessors.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Katja Krause’s Thomas Aquinas on Seeing God underscores the importance of Thomas Aquinas’s early commentary on Sentences IV.49.2, one mostly neglected today. With her richly annotated and felicitous translation, overarching general historical introduction, and masterfully textured individual introductions to each of the seven articles of Aquinas’s treatment of the beatific vision, Krause guides the reader through the meanings, nuances, and allusions of young Aquinas’s learned teachings on ultimate human happiness and the surprising extent to which pagan Greek and Muslim philosophers helped to determine his own position on this much debated theologicophilosophical topic. This refreshing and intelligent book will captivate neophytes in Scholasticism and seasoned Thomas scholars alike.Prof.(emeritus) Steven Harvey, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel
