Also some opinions on how I should slice up the periods in philosophy might be of use. I plan to go through time periods, then schools then areas in philosophy in the series of posts so it can be a good 'go to' resource for anyone considering learning philosophy in university (from a Thomist perspective) or teaching themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-47077331690769508932015-01-17T16:16:07.579-08:002015-01-17T16:16:07.579-08:00@Irish Thomist:

Philosophy students and enthusiasts would find it most helpful, especially if new to the topic.

So they fully understand the following; metaphysics (Aquinas and universals/the four cuases etc. etc.), human cognition (philosophy of mind), epistemology, Thomism versus the later Scholastics (especially Scotus), natural theology, the influences on Thomas Aquinas (Plato, Aristotle Pseudo-Dionysius etc.), contemporary philosophy versus Thomism etc. etc.<br /><br />I ask here because the essential reading on the link brought the thought to mind.
