Summary/Abstract: My third year of college, I had the good fortune to enroll in a survey course in ancient philosophy. The instructor was a Hungarian émigré, named Francis Kovach, a man endowed with a forceful personality and a discipline of mind that was a marvel to behold. He had a distinguished German education, having earned a doctorate in philosophy from Cologne, where he wrote a dissertation under the direction of Gerard Verbeke. His dissertation is arguably the definitive study of the aesthetics of St. Thomas Aquinas.
