Description: Venice: Typographia Balleoniana, 1772. Eighth Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Quarter bound in brown leather over marbled boards, spines in five compartments separated by gilt borders, gilt lettering in two compartments. In Latin. Volume One contains, inter alia, his "De Natura et Attributis Divinis." Volume Three contains, inter alia, "De Beatitudine, et Actibus Humanis." Jean-Baptiste Gonet (born about 1616 at Béziers, in the province of Languedoc – died 24 January 1681 at Béziers) was a French Dominican theologian. His principal work is the "Clypeus theologiae thomisticae contra novos ejus impugnatores" (16 vols, Bordeaux, 1659–69). From 1669 to 1681 no less than nine editions of this work appeared, the latest is that of Paris 1875. Shortly before his death he published his "Manuale thomistarum", which is an abridgment of his larger work. As a theologian and academic disputant Gonet ranks among the most prominent figures of his time. An ardent defender and exponent of the teaching of Thomas Aquinas and an illustrious representative of Neo-Thomism, he set forth the traditional teaching of his school with clearness and skill, with some bitterness against the representatives of different views. Thomistic Philosophy is inspired by the philosophical methods and principles used by Thomas Aquinas (1224/5-1274), a Dominican Friar and Theologian, in his explanation of the Catholic faith. Aquinas, who is most renowned for his "Five Ways of Proving the Existence of God," believed that both faith and reason discover truth, a conflict between them being impossible since they both originate in God. Believing that reason can, in principle, lead the mind to God, Aquinas defended reason's legitimacy, especially in the works of Aristotle. The philosophy of Aquinas continues to offer insights into many lingering problems in Metaphysics, the Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. The spines and covers are moderately rubbed, the corners bumped and worn, but the text blocks are tight and square, the hinges are strong, the pages supple. Large, heavy books - additional shipping may apply. VERY GOOD.. Folio 13" - 23" tall. Very Good with No dust jacket as issued .
