Excellent- More about Saint and the Atheist: Thomas Aquinas and Jean-Paul Sartre
St. Thomas Aquinas and Jean-Paul Sartre are two philosophers who are separated by time and religious beliefs, but Joseph S. Catalano brings them together for their shared concern with the uniqueness of each individual person and how this uniqueness relates to our mutual dependence on each other. Sartre broadens and deepens Aquinas's outlook, updating it for our present planetary and social needs, and Catalano shows how freedom, for Sartre, is embodied and further illuminates Aquinas's notion of consciousness. This book offers a fruitful space for thinking through key questions about faith, conscience, freedom, and the meaning of life.

St. Thomas Aquinas and Jean-Paul Sartre are two philosophers who are incredibly different from each other, spanning centuries and religious beliefs. However, philosopher Joseph S. Catalano believes that their shared concern with the uniqueness of each individual person and their relationship to one another is worth exploring. Sartre broadens and deepens Aquinas's outlook, updating it for our present planetary and social needs. Both thinkers bring us closer to the reality that surrounds us and are centrally concerned with the place of the human within a temporal realm and what stance we should take on our own freedom to act and live within that realm. Catalano demonstrates how freedom is embodied in Sartre's philosophy, further illuminating Aquinas's notion of consciousness. This book is a compact and accessible introduction to the ideas of both philosophers, aimed at readers with varying backgrounds. By placing Sartre in conversation with Aquinas, Catalano offers a fruitful space for thinking through central questions about faith, conscience, freedom, and the meaning of life. It serves as a primer on key ideas of both philosophers, providing a valuable resource for those interested in exploring these profound philosophical concepts.
