This paper is a review of the book: Jean-Pierre Torrell, Saint Thomas en plus simple (Paris: Les éditions du Cerf, 2019). According to the author, (1) Torrell’s book is a straightforward and accessible introduction to Thomas Aquinas in the form of a literary biography, and (2) it acquaints the reader with Thomas’s teachings on God, the human being, the Logos, and on how these fit into the structure of the Summa theologica.

Taking into account and responding to two sets of objections to Thomas Aquinas’ credentials as political philosopher, the essay examines his political philosophy, its presupposed understanding of human nature, and its portrayal in his philosophy of law. Analysing the defining features of law in Aquinas places before the reader features of human nature, namely, rationality, relationality and religiosity. These traits enable one to find responses to what Charles Taylor has identified as “three malaises” of contemporary society and culture, namely, individualism, instrumental reason, and the political consequences of both.
