The Summa Theologica: First Part of the Second Part by Saint Thomas Aquinas: - A Classic in Western Philosophy and the Catholic Church - Part I-II, 114 Questions, 609 Articles, Thousands of Objections and Answers - Over 500,000 words Publisher: Volumes 1 to 6 in Paperback and Kindle Editions also available. The Summa Theologica, or ''Summary of Theology'' was written from 1265 to 1274. It is the greatest achievement of Saint Thomas Aquinas and one of the most influential works of Western literature and Philosophy. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern Philosophy was conceived as a reaction against, or as an agreement with, his ideas, particularly in the areas of Ethics, Natural Law, Metaphysics, and Political Theory. It is intended as a manual for beginners in Theology and a Compendium of all of the main Theological teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. It presents the reasoning for almost all points of Christian Theology in the West. The book is famous, among other things, for its five arguments for the existence of God, the Quinque viae. The second part is on Ethics. Thomas argues for a variation of the Aristotelian Virtue Ethics. However, unlike Aristotle, he argues for a connection between the virtuous man and God by explaining how the virtuous act is one towards the blessedness of the Beatific Vision.
