Thomas Aquinas (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry)

This is Robert Pasnau's Thomas Aquinas entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, published by the Metaphysics Research Lab at Stanford University in 2022, a continuously revised, peer reviewed reference entry rather than a fixed-edition monograph, assigned to a subject specialist and checked by a subject editor before publication. Pasnau is a recognized scholar of medieval philosophy. Its strength is that peer editorial process together with the entry's ongoing revision as scholarship on Aquinas develops. Its limit is that an encyclopedia entry compresses a very large secondary literature on Aquinas into a summary, so a claim resting on a specific contested reading of Thomistic metaphysics or natural law theory should be checked against Pasnau's own cited primary and secondary sources rather than treated as the entry's final word.
