The 24 Theses That Shaped Modern Thomism
THE TWENTY-FOUR THOMISTIC THESES
By Fr. Édouard Hugon, O.P.
For more than a century, the Twenty-Four Thomistic Theses have stood as the authoritative summary of the philosophical principles of St. Thomas Aquinas, praised and recommended by Popes Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI as a sure guide for Catholic philosophy and theology.
In this masterful commentary, the renowned Dominican theologian Fr. Édouard Hugon explains each thesis with remarkable clarity, showing how these foundational principles illuminate metaphysics, natural philosophy, psychology, and the knowledge of God. Rather than presenting abstract formulas, Fr. Hugon demonstrates their enduring relevance to the deepest questions of truth, existence, human nature, and the relationship between faith and reason.
Accessible enough for serious students yet profound enough for scholars, this volume serves as both an introduction to Thomistic philosophy and a trusted companion for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Church’s intellectual tradition. Whether you are studying St. Thomas for the first time or returning to the perennial philosophy with greater experience, Twenty-Four Thomistic Theses offers a clear, systematic, and inspiring guide to the principles that have shaped Catholic thought for generations.
Discover why these timeless theses remain an indispensable foundation for anyone seeking wisdom rooted in reason, illuminated by faith.
