Summa of Philosophy from the Works of Thomas Aquinas - On Logic and Natural Philosophy Part One, Volume I - Cosmo Alamanno

Cosmo Alamanno’s Summa of Philosophy from the Works of Thomas Aquinas, Volume I is a scholastic compilation that sets out a systematic introduction to logic and natural philosophy within the Thomistic tradition. It presents logic as the foundation of philosophical reasoning, treating concepts, judgments, and argumentation as instruments for the pursuit of truth, and then moves into the principles of nature and physical reality.

A central concern of the work is the proper ordering of the sciences, especially the role of logic as a preparatory discipline for the study of natural philosophy. It draws on Aristotelian-Thomistic principles to explain change, causality, and the structure of the material world.

The work also emphasizes the formation of disciplined reasoning and clarity of definition as necessary for all philosophical inquiry. Overall, it is an ordered pedagogical synthesis of logic and natural philosophy intended to introduce students to the foundations of scholastic thought.
