- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found this one of the most helpful series of lectures I have ever listened to and I intend to go through them again. This isn't just a lot of philosophical theory, although there is plenty of that too, but is full of practical applications. Thomas Aquinas isn't easy to understand, I'm currently trying to wade through some of his books, but these lectures have helped me understand something of what he is about and made me think it's worthwhile struggling though.
