Rating: 5
Summary: Up to date and comprehensive
Comment: Mary Clark's revision of the Aquinas reader offers the most up to date and comprehensive selection of Aquinas' texts currently available. Especially notable is the way this revision includes principal texts from Aquinas' writings on participation, the centrality of which is now accepted in Continental Thomist studies and is increasingly understood here in the North America (cf. Norris Clarke, John Wippel, et. al.). Highly recommended.
And despite what a previous reviewer said, Mary Clark's introductions and explications are wonderful.
Rating: 5
Summary: A more balanced view of this book
Comment: I have just finished this book. I just took five minutes to tell the customers of Amazon that it is very interesting. It is well presented by Mary Clark with very interesting introductions to the five chapters. This presentation really makes St Thomas Aquinas very readable today. What the Saint focuses on is so important and so relevant to our understanding of our modern world and yet he wrote in the 13th century. When I read the book I tried to always think about how it applies to my life today. Don't be put off by reviews that sound a little bit over the top and too harsh.

Summary: Sliced and Diced Aquinas
Comment: This is an unfortunate example of the sort of thing which academics produce and then force undergraduates to wade through. The author has found all the similar passages in Aquinas' many works and has collected them together in snippets varying from a paragraph to two to three pages in length. This results in great repetition, and the beauty of the sweeping logical development which is presumably present in the original, is lost.
A word of warning to anyone who would approach Aquinas: read your Aristotle first.
