ABC of Scholastic Philosophy

A C Cotter,

About this book

ABC of Scholastic Philosophy by A. C. Cotter, S.J. is a concise yet profound introduction to the classical system of thought that shaped centuries of Western intellectual life — the philosophy of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas. Written with clarity, order, and a deep reverence for truth, this volume distills the essence of Scholasticism into a practical guide designed for students, teachers, and seekers of sound reasoning.

Cotter's goal is both pedagogical and philosophical: to make the principles of Scholastic thought accessible to the modern mind without sacrificing rigor. In a series of carefully structured chapters, he introduces the reader to logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and natural theology — always grounding abstract concepts in clear examples and methodical reasoning. The book's "ABC" structure mirrors the very discipline it teaches: orderly, systematic, and aimed at forming the intellect as well as informing it.

Yet ABC of Scholastic Philosophy is far from dry instruction. Cotter writes with the conviction that truth is not merely to be analyzed but lived — that philosophy serves faith by illuminating reality and strengthening the moral life. Rooted in the Thomistic tradition, his text reveals how classical reason and Christian revelation can coexist in harmony, offering the modern reader a way to think clearly in an age of confusion.

For those seeking intellectual grounding, moral clarity, or a disciplined approach to thought itself, ABC of Scholastic Philosophy remains a timeless primer — an enduring guide to the art of reasoning well and the pursuit of wisdom.
