In The Function of the Phantasm in St. Thomas Aquinas, Henry Carr delves into the intricate philosophical system of St. Thomas Aquinas, exploring the crucial role of the phantasm in Aquinas's epistemology and psychology. Carr meticulously examines Aquinas's writings to elucidate how phantasms-mental representations derived from sensory experience-serve as the foundation for intellectual understanding. This study offers a detailed analysis of Aquinas's theory of knowledge, demonstrating how the intellect abstracts universal concepts from the concrete images provided by the phantasm.
