Resumen
Papeles del doctor Angélico is a collection of essays and reflections by Armando Palacio Valdés, inspired by the figure of St.
Thomas Aquinas, often called the “Doctor Angelicus.” In this work, Palacio Valdés combines philosophical inquiry with literary meditation, exploring themes of morality, human behavior, faith, and the intellectual traditions that shaped Western thought.
Rather than being a purely theological treatise, the book reflects the author’s literary sensitivity and philosophical curiosity, presenting profound ideas in an accessible, almost conversational style.
The essays move between ethical reflections, cultural critiques, and personal insights, making the text not only a tribute to Aquinas but also a mirror of Palacio Valdés’ own intellectual concerns.
Balancing spiritual depth with literary grace, Papeles del doctor Angélico offers readers a glimpse into the intersections of philosophy, religion, and human experience through the lens of a 19th-century Spanish novelist and thinker.
