Course of Thomistic Philosophy I, Logic - Edouard Hugon

This volume is the first in a systematic presentation of Thomistic philosophy by the Dominican theologian Édouard Hugon. It introduces the foundational principles of logic according to the tradition of Thomas Aquinas, emphasizing the role of reason in attaining truth.

Hugon develops logic not merely as a technical discipline, but as an essential instrument (organon) for all philosophical and theological inquiry. The work covers the classical divisions of logic—simple apprehension, judgment, and reasoning—while also engaging with Aristotelian concepts such as terms, propositions, and syllogisms. Throughout, it reflects the metaphysical realism characteristic of Thomism, grounding logical operations in the nature of being itself.

Clear, structured, and deeply rooted in the scholastic tradition, this text serves both as an introduction for beginners and a rigorous guide for those seeking to understand the intellectual method underlying Thomistic philosophy.
