Seeing as you didn't get the edition published by The Aquinas Institute with Latin and English text side by side, you're in for a shitty experience

My cock in your mouth for not standing the books up.

Plotinuse

Sounds like a pokemom

Probably the tightest theological/philosophical system ever devised.

>>7858837
Goethe

You're about to be blown the fuck away. Aquinas may have been the smartest person ever to live.
>>
>>7861810
i actually agree with this...well, he is at least smartest person to collect their thoughts, and my god did he have a lot to say, and so eloquently too

save urself like 300 hrs m8

>>7861938
Well does anyone know how much a full set would cost at cheapest, or if its even worth reading?
>>
>>7858321
a wasted life

>>7861965
coupla hundred dollas desu
I'm from Ireland and cannot find a cheap set despite all the Catholicism here.
>>
>>7858837
>ends in E
>its in chronological order so you have to assume its between homer and plato
>no presocratics work and it looks like it can only be 3 or 4 letters long

>>7861965
I have a huge collected works and getting something like that is probably preferable because he wrote other works and a 1k collection is bound to have all the essentials.
>>
>>7863464
What edition of his collected works do you have?
>>
>>7863535
The Croatian one.
>>
You should have got the cut down edition, chances are you'll get bored
>>
>>7858321
It is going to be very boring. I had to read his Summa Theologica as part of a history class. Ill save you the trouble - complexity = god, reason complements faith.
>>
>>7863629
Aquinas wrote about everything, it's hard to reduce him to anything.
>>
>>7863674
not for kids today
>>
>>7863629
>complexity = god
This is an enduring notion however. A lot of people independently arrive at something similar to that.
>>
>>7864467
Not for kids ever. I don't even know other Catholics who read him and only a few priests mention him or are obviously influenced by his writings.
