Through critical exposition of the work and influence of Proclus, and careful analysis of the unfolding of God's being in the first forty-five questions of the Summa Theologiae, Hankey argues that Aquinas was less of an Aristotelian than has traditionally been supposed, and that a proper appreciation of his work requires taking fuller notice of his reliance on neo-Platonism.
