“Summa Theologica” (Summa Theologica) is one of the most famous works in the history of philosophy, the main work of the great Christian philosopher and theologian, the greatest scholastic and metaphysician St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), whose theology - according to Gilson’s apt definition - it is the theology of the philosopher, and philosophy is the philosophy of the Christian saint. The entire “Summa...” consists of three parts (the second, the largest, is divided into two more): the first part deals with God and His acts, or, as Aquinas himself said, “about the Prototype”; in the second, dedicated to “His likeness”, i.e. to a person, questions of ethics (“formal” and “material” are raised); the third - unfinished - talks about the Savior and the ways of salvation. The book is a series of treatises, but the basis of the division is “questions” (in total in the “Sum..." namely Thomas, there are 512 of them, although in the so-called complete edition there are a hundred more questions: in order to exhaust all the provisions announced by Thomas in the third part, the work was completed by Aquinas’s friend and secretary Reginald Pipernsky, using for this purpose as a series of sketches for the “Summa...”, left by Thomas, as well as excerpts from his other, earlier works). Questions, in turn, consist of “sections”. The structure of "sections", which may seem somewhat unusual, was in fact quite common in Thomas's time and reflects the form of university debates. Thus, after announcing the topic, the opinions (“objections”) of Thomas’s opponents are first stated (existing judgments that the author intends to refute), then an opinion contradicting these “objections” is given, which, however, does not seem to Aquinas sufficiently convincing or exhaustive, and only then (after the word “I answer”) the author’s own solution to the problem is presented, including refutations of “objections.” This book presents questions about the essence and attributes of God (the first 43 questions out of 119 that make up the first section "Amounts..."). The second book will include questions devoted to the act of Creation and angels, the third - questions devoted to man and Providence. This work has been translated into Russian for the first time.
