G. K. Chesterton

Chesterton's short life of the Angelic Doctor, written for readers who had hardly heard of him. Eight chapters trace Thomas from the friars of the thirteenth century and the Aristotelian revolution to the Thomist philosophy of common sense, the 'permanent philosophy' of sane realism against the Manichean and the sceptic.
