The course will pay attention to a number of core Thomist doctrines as enfolded in the famous Summa Theologiae and in other works of Aquinas (e.g. God, Trinity, creation, sin, grace, virtues, Christ, and the sacraments). Besides the theology of Aquinas, the course will also look at the institutional contexts of his career and his thought, such as the young University of Paris, the recently founded Dominican Order and the role of the papal court.
Method: Analysis, interpretation and summary of theological texts and institutional sources; discussion of recent literature and of the main historiography in the related topics.
