The Summa contra gentiles is perhaps the most peculiar work of St. Thomas Aquinas, due to Thomas's decision to structure the work first according to what humans can say about God without revelation and then what humans can say about God once revelation is explicitly introduced. Such an approach to the human pursuit of the divine is otherwise unheard of in Thomas's own day, and this unusual structure has provided a fertile seedbed for a wide range of interpretations. Matthew Kostelecky's book shows the integral relationship between the conceptions of human nature and God operative throughout the Summa contra gentiles such that the text is always in a twofold movement, at once describing what humans can say about God while also reflecting human nature back on itself by delineating its limits and capabilities with respect to the possible human knowledge of God. As a result, the Summa contra gentiles is presented as a mirror of human nature as that nature is directed to its most noble object.

Il est indeniable que Thomas d'Aquin fit preuve d'une grande originalite metaphysique parmi ses contemporains. Or, ses avancees concernant la signification de l'esse ou l'unicite de la forme substantielle ne peuvent etre adequatement saisies independamment d'une comprehension tout aussi originale de la matiere, concue notamment comme pure puissance. Cette etude tache de saisir les implications de la conception thomasienne de la matiere dans les differents domaines de sa pensee, de la physique a la metaphysique, en passant par les fondations, dans la constitution meme de la substance, des theories de la connaissance, de l'agir moral et de l'apprehension du beau. On y decouvre une conception de la substance-sujet au sens fort qui se montre pourtant, au coeur meme de ses principes constitutifs, radicalement ouverte a l'originalite de l'Alterite sous ses diverses formes.
