How to Think Like Aquinas

If we find Aquinas hard to read, how can we even begin to "think like Aquinas?" In a recently rediscovered letter St. Thomas wrote 800 years ago to a young novice monk, he gives practical, sage advice about how to study, how to think, and how to live. He also explains how anyone can fathom and explain even the loftiest truths.

In How to Think Like Aquinas, Kevin Vost and St. Thomas will teach you how to dissect logical fallacies, heresies, and half-truths that continue to pollute our world with muddy thinking. Best of all, you’ll find a fully-illustrated set of exercises to improve your intellectual powers of memory, understanding, logical reasoning, shrewdness, foresight, circumspection, and practical wisdom.
