Journey into Aquinas' *Summa Theologica*

No prior reading is required, but for those eager to dive deeper, we will explore *[Summa Theologica](https://www.ccel.org/ccel/aquinas/summa.FP_Q83_A1.html)*[ ST I, Q. 83, a. 1 – "Whether Man Has Free Will?"](https://www.ccel.org/ccel/aquinas/summa.FP_Q83_A1.html) Participants will present and discuss key themes from the text, offering a range of perspectives to enrich our collective understanding.

To further illuminate Aquinas' ideas, we’ll take brief detours into the philosophies of Aristotle, Plato, and Plotinus, providing valuable context and historical depth.

This interactive session is a great opportunity to reflect, share insights, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Each session stands alone, making it easy for newcomers to join at any time. Best of all, it’s completely FREE!

Join us on a journey through the rich tapestry of thought, spanning from ancient Greece and Rome to the dawn of early modern philosophy.

Discover how these foundational ideas shaped the intellectual transformations that continue to influence the modern world.
