'This book is an astounding achievement. It will not be superseded
for decades. It will surely remain on the bibliography for as long
as Thomas Aquinas is regarded as a major thinker; for as long as
there is Western philosophy.' - Fergus Kerr, Ars Disputandi‘This is
by far the best book we have on Aquinas’s philosophy as a whole,
and it will undoubtedly become a standard point of reference for
anyone interested in his work’- Robert Pasnau, Mind
'[Eleanore Stump] is one of the best contemporary commentators on
Aquinas - perhaps even the best. She writes lucidly, with great
philosophical sophistication and with an excellent ability to focus
on the really critical steps in Aquinas's arguments ... if someone
were to buy just one book on Aquinas, I think this should be it. It
is excellent value for money and I thoroughly recommend it.' -

Disputandi‘…written with such rigorous lucidity that it should deal
a death-blow to the common prejudice that medieval writers are
obscure, inaccessible, and unlikely to have anything pertinent to
say to the modern reader.’ - E.J. Ashworth, Philosophical Books
