"Compendium Philosophiae Scholastigae" is a thorough and systematic exploration of the Scholastic tradition, providing a foundational overview of the philosophical system that has deeply influenced Western intellectual and religious history. This work functions as a comprehensive textbook, detailing the essential branches of philosophy including logic, metaphysics, ethics, and natural theology. Grounded in the teachings of Aristotle and the synthetic genius of St. Thomas Aquinas, the text aims to reconcile human reason with divine revelation through clear, structured argumentation.

The volume covers the core tenets of the "Philosophia Perennis," addressing complex questions about the nature of existence, the attributes of the soul, and the moral obligations of humanity. Its pedagogical approach, characterized by precise definitions and logical rigor, makes it an invaluable resource for understanding the dialectical methods of the medieval schools as they were revived and taught in the early 20th century. Whether used as a reference for historical theology or as a study of classical metaphysical problems, "Compendium Philosophiae Scholastigae" offers a clear window into the intellectual discipline of the Catholic tradition. It remains a significant text for scholars of medieval studies and those interested in the historical development of European philosophical thought.

Oxford Handbook of Medieval Philosophy
This <em>Handbook</em> is intended to show the links between the philosophy written in the Middle Ages and that being done today. Essays by over twenty medieval specialists, who are also familiar with contemporary discussions, explore areas in logic and philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, moral psychology ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy and philosophy of religion. Each topic has been chosen because it is of present philosophical interest, but a more or less similar set of questions was also discussed in the Middle Ages. No party-line has been set about the extent of the similarity. Some writers (e.g. Panaccio on Universals&#x3b; Cesalli on States of Affairs) argue that there are the closest continuities. Others (e.g. Thom on Logical Form&#x3b; Pink on Freedom of the Will) stress the differences. All, however, share the aim of providing new analyses of medieval texts and of writing in a manner that is clear and comprehensible to philosophers who are not medieval specialists. <p/>The <em>Handbook </em>begins with eleven chapters looking at the history of medieval philosophy period by period, and region by region. They constitute the fullest, most wide-ranging and up-to-date chronological survey of medieval philosophy available. All four traditions - Greek, Latin, Islamic and Jewish (in Arabic, and in Hebrew) - are considered, and the Latin tradition is traced from late antiquity through to the seventeenth century and beyond.
