Synopsis

The great German Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant believed that reason is the most fundamental human faculty. Applied to the quest for knowledge it creates a world of space and time in which all events are causally connected with each other. In the sphere of ethics reason demands respect for all persons. It enables us to enjoy beauty and to appreciate the magnificence of nature's creatures. His influence on subsequent thought has been monumental.

From AudioFile:

Heston narrates, and actors provide vocal characterizations for this introduction to the life and work of Aquinas. Heston's fine voice and air of authority are well suited to this clear, understandable, and interesting script. The examples are easy to follow and will acquaint the listener, not only with the work of Aquinas, but also with certain fundamental concepts in the study of philosophy.
