"Dr. Phillips is to be congratulated on the clear and lucid way he has set forth Thomist doctrines and especially for the manner in which he has rendered the Latin terminology of Schoolman in English, an achievement which makes his book very readable and interesting even for those unacquainted with the great treatises of Schoolman."
--L. J. Walker, Philosophy
The first volume of this introduction to Thomistic philosophy includes two parts. The first discusses cosmology as the philosophy of inanimate nature and the second explores the philosophy of animate nature that is philosophical psychology.
