Good you mentioned the importance of the Transcendentals. They are foundational.

"Yet the truth that dwells in the core of all things none but the few do contemplate."

Anselm of Canterbury

Josef Pieper in his book "Living the Truth - Reality and the Good - The Truth of All Things" wishes to draw out the inherent principles of the truth of all things which occupied the thought of scholars of the High Middle Ages. He presents a wonderful exposition of the ontology of Thomas Aquinas. He shows the intimate relationship between God and man by way of the truth and goodness which exist in things.

"The forms conceived by the receptive mind (man) are the foundation of knowing only, while the forms conceived by the active mind (God) are the foundation of both knowing and being."

Thomas Aquinas
