Volumul de faţă cuprinde partea acceptată ca autentică a tratatului De regno al Sfântului Toma din Aquino şi un decupaj din celebra Summa Theologiae a aceluiaşi autor. Traducerea exactă a titlului "De regno" este "Despre guvernarea regală"; fragmentele din Summa Theologiae se referă la lege şi guvernare, iar noi am considerat problema guvernării drept gen comun al acestor texte, motiv pentru care le-am dat titlul comun Despre guvernământ.

Thomas Aquinas was an immensely influential philosopher and theologian in the tradition of scholasticism, known as Doctor Angelicus and Doctor Communis.
He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology, and the father of the Thomistic school of philosophy and theology. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy was conceived as a reaction against, or as an agreement with, his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law and political theory.
