  • - A Synthesis of Metaphysics
    av Louis de Raeymaeker
    1 041,-

    av George P Klubertanz

    The human intellect must begin with sensible things, and hence all principles must somehow be found in sense experience. The discovery of principles is an induction.

  • av Maurice de Wulf
    365,-

    The pedagogical aim which we have before us in this book forces us to limit ourselves to the consideration of the great and central doctrines of Thomism, and to leave aside the innumerable applications of those doctrines which may be found scattered up and down the extensive works of Thomas Aquinas.
