"Reading Aristotle with Thomas Aquinas: His Commentaries on Aristotle's Major Works
offers an original and decisive work for the understanding of the thought of Thomas
Aquinas. For decades his commentaries on the major works of Aristotle have been the
subject of lively discussions. Are his commentaries faithful and reliable expositions
of the Stagirite's thought or do they contain Thomas's own philosophy and are they
read through the lens of Thomas's own Christian faith and in doing so possibly distorting
Aristotle? In order to be able to provide clarity and offer a nuanced response to
this question, a careful study of all the relevant texts is needed. This is precisely
what the author sets out do to in this work. Each chapter is devoted to one of the
twelve commentaries Thomas wrote on major works of Aristotle including both his massive
and influential commentaries on the Metaphysics, Physics and Nicomachean Ethics as
well as lesser known commentaries. Elders places Thomas's commentary in its historical
context, reviews the Greek, Arabic and Latin translation and reception of Aristotle's
text as well as contemporary interpretations thereof and presents the reader with
a thorough presentation and analysis of the content of the commentary, drawing attention
to all the places where Thomas intervenes and makes special observations. In this
way the reader can study Aristotle's treatises with Thomas as guide. The conclusion
reached is that Thomas's commentaries are a masterful and faithful presentation of
Aristotle's thought and of that of Thomas himself. Thomas's Christian faith does not
falsify Aristotle's text, but gives occasionally an outlook at what lies behind philosophical
thought"
