Here is a partial list of some Thomists throughout history. I'm sure I've overlooked some important figures, but I'm fallible afterall. :)

I've italicized those figures who I would personally endorse for whatever reason. Since I know very little about many of the people on this list, a lack of italics does not mean that they aren't good (with a couple exceptions).

A priest, and hopefully-professor-to-be recommends I read the Pieper books before I do his course.

For more Aristotle, how about Jonathan Lear's "Aristotle: The Desire To Understand"? I'm just getting into it now - it's fascinating reading, and it's got great reviews on Amazon.

Sweet. I've had that one my wishlist for years. lol. Last year I got [url="http://www.amazon.com/Substantial-Knowledge-Aristotles-Metaphysics-Reeve/dp/0872205142/"]Substantial Knowledge: Aristotle's Metaphysics[/url], which is a great book. For Christmas I received [url="http://www.amazon.com/Metaphysical-Thought-Thomas-Aquinas-Renaissance/dp/0813209838"]The Metaphysical Thought of Thomas Aquinas: From Finite Being to Uncreated Being[/url], which I've not yet had a chance to read (I got mostly books for Christmas) but just from flipping through it I can tell that it rocks!

Maybe this study guide project should be revived, updated and improved. lol.

Peace.
