Reihe: Medieval Philosophical Texts in Translation

Thomas Aquinas’s first account of the beatific vision ‘face-to-face’, as presented in his commentary on Peter Lombard’s Sentences, integrates the theological discourse of his times with newly available philosophical reasoning of Greek and Arabic provenance. This book provides a translation of Book IV, distinction 49, question 2 of Aquinas’s commentary and, in comprehensive introductions and notes, examines how Aquinas solved the most profound conceptual dilemmas of his Latin predecessors.
