A Comparative Analysis of Cicero and Aquinas: Nature and the Natural Law: Bloomsbury Studies in Ancient Philosophy

Autor Charles P. Nemeth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2018
In A Comparative Analysis of Cicero and Aquinas, Charles P. Nemeth investigates how, despite their differences, these two figures may be the most compatible brothers in ideas ever conceived in the theory of natural law. Looking to find common threads that run between the philosophies of these two great thinkers of the Classical and Medieval periods, this book aims to determine whether or not there exists a common ground whereby ethical debates and dilemmas can be evaluated. Does comparison between Cicero and Aquinas offer a new pathway for moral measure, based on defined and developed principles? Do they deliver certain moral and ethical principles for human life to which each agree? Instead of a polemical diatribe, comparison between Cicero and Aquinas may edify a method of compromise and afford a more or less restrictive series of judgements about ethical quandaries.

Recenzii

Nemeth does a good job in showing both the similarities and differences of Aquinas's and Cicero's writings on natural law. This book is recommended for both universities and seminaries.
[An] excellent book that is well worth the read. The topic itself is fascinating and the learned author's familiarity with both Cicero and Aquinas is impressive . the book is an excellent read which provides fascinating biographical information in a very reader-friendly format.
This new comparative analysis of Cicero and Aquinas is superbly clear, accessible and cogent not only for non-specialist reading audiences but also for classical, medieval, and modern jurisprudential scholars, theologians, and academics. I have a very high level of confidence that A Comparative Analysis of Cicero and St. Thomas Aquinas: Nature and the Natural Law will be a much needed addition to the current body of scholarly writings.
