(Though Fr. Henle describes his book as simply a collectio...)
Though Fr. Henle describes his book as simply a collection of his past philosophical publications that he deemed 'of some importance and some value' to which he has added some updating editorial comments, Dr. Ralph McInerny of Notre Dame, in his Foreword, places Fr. Henle and his works such as these essays high in the Catholic thomistic revival that followed Leo XIII's encyclical Aeterni Patris in 1879. For those who have known Fr. Henle and his work over the years, this book is a valuable and convenient record and reminder; for those for whom this is an introduction, it provides new insight into a seminal mind.

Robert John Henle was an editor of the Modern Schoolman (now Res Philosophica) from 1945 to 1950. In 1947 Henle became an assistant professor of philosophy at St. Louis University and was promoted up to full professor in 1958. He also served in various administrative capacities, and was a trustee from 1949 to 1969. In 1969 Henle became president of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and held that office until 1976.

Robert John Henle is best known for his service as Georgetown’s University president. Among the most significant innovations that Henle oversaw while in office was the creation of the faculty senate, which would prove to be the genesis of one of the watershed moments of his time in office. An upper-class apartment complex at Georgetown, Henle Village, is named after him.
Hanle made major contributions to the understanding of medieval theology. His book Saint Thomas and Platonism: A Study of the Plato and Platonici Texts in the Writings of Saint Thomas (1956) largely established the parameters of Thomas Aquinas's relationships to Plato and the neo-Platonists.
Henle was an important figure in the revival of Thomistic theology and philosophy in the mid-twentieth century. He was the author of more than 200 articles and many books, including a series of Latin grammar books that were widely used.
