The work shows how the writings that St. Thomas Aquinas made at maturity, although the thirteenth century have much to offer the reader interested in modern philosophy, the nature of the human mind, and the relationship between intellect and desire , between body and soul. Kenny makes available those parts of the system of St. Thomas that have lasting value. It does not presuppose any knowledge of Latin or medieval history, and refers to the system of St. Thomas to a tradition of philosophy of Wittgenstein and Ryle mind that opened in the Anglo-American. In an introductory reflection, Kenny raises the question why is it relevant to revisit Aquinas in the present. The answer offered is divided into two points.

The book bears some relation to action and conduct of Stephen L. Brock, recently published by Herder. At the same time the two works do not overlap at all, but complement excellently. Obviously, it is also different patterns, as Kenny reconstructed a philosophy of mind and Brock a philosophy of action. For teachers and students of philosophy and theology at all levels, but also from other disciplines, such as cognitive psychology and the entire interdisciplinary field that has become so-called "cognitive science
