In order to properly form oneself in a discpline, one ought to find a book that is authoritative in that area (in the medieval period, the words of Aristotle for philosophy and the Sentences of Peter Lombard for theology) and master that work. Ê\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJeremy Taylor comments \"an understanding entertained with several objects is intent upon neither, and profits not.\" So also does a mind set upon many books is intent upon none, and profits not. Ê\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal with this publication is to provide the \"one book\" that one ought to master at the beginning of his studies. Fr. Coppens provides us with a series that is sufficient for this task: A Brief Text-Book of Logic and Mental Philosophy, A Brief Text-Book of Moral Philosophy, and A Systematic Study of the Catholic Religion. Ê\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection merely combines these three shorter works under a single cover to provide this \"one book\" that covers each topic that one must know for further study in a succinct manner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44236439290017,"sku":"1toppap2771","price":46.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/v687q2-front-shortedge-384_030919c0-a00a-4269-a1b0-e8ce5c3ce296.jpg?v=1718432087","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/a-comprehensive-introduction-to-scholastic-philosophy-and-theology","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
