The first volume of this introduction to Thomistic philosophy includes cosmology as the philosophy of inanimate nature, and the philosophy of animate nature that is philosophical psychology. This is a reprint of the 1962 New York edition.

Presents the traditional scholastic philosophy of man's nature in a fresh light, from a point of view that may make it more acceptable to the modern scientific mind. This should interest philosophers looking for a new presentation, as well as psychologists looking for philosophical orientation.

Neo-Aristotelians, Analytic Scholastics, and Analytical Thomists have made significant contributions to several fields within contemporary philosophy, including metaphysics, philosophy of mind and philosophy of science. This volume of new essays brings together some of the leading thinkers of this movement.

The point of view which was chosen for treatment in these lectures is that of the relational aspects in mediaeval philosophy. It is a study which relates the philosophy to the other factors in that civilization taken as an organic whole. This is a reprint of the 1953 Dover edition.

The pedagogical aim which we have before us in this book forces us to limit ourselves to the consideration of the great and central doctrines of Thomism, and to leave aside the innumerable applications of those doctrines which may be found scattered up and down the extensive works of Thomas Aquinas. This is a reprint of the 1959 Dover edition.

This is not a summary of philosophical problems. Cotter does not give an outline of the history of philosophy with problems arranged by period. Instead, he confines himself to a few important data on the principal philosophers of past ages, and tries to sketch the intellectual equipment with which the student is supposed to begin philosophy.

The aim of the book is to meet and combat false conceptions, to co-ordinate true notions, and so to furnish the reader with some general information on old and new scholasticism.

Provides a systematic and very accurate introduction to scholastic philosophy. Part one explores logic and dialectic. Part two deals with metaphysics and ontology. Part three examines cosmology, followed by the fourth part which embraces rational psychology. Part five deals with natural theology.

Contains an investigation of ethics from a scholastic standpoint. The book examines the fundamental theory of action. The author then develops the conceptions of duty and laws as concrete duties. Finally the book examines social ethics as embracing the rights and duties of men in their relations with other men, both as individuals and as groups.

Deals with teleology, truth, predication, knowledge and belief, universals, body and mind, soul, and reason. The book's approach is integrative, scholastic and analytic. Teleology is required for causality, truth and reason. Where the measure is an end, things measure mind in theoretical truth and mind measures things in practical truth.

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.
