But here's just a few.

Those seem to be approximately what I mentioned. Relative importance seems the most salient.

Perhaps you could read the book to find out about Aquinas.

I'd rather just read the text. If I feel I've missed something significant I can always go back.
If there are more than a few index entries with lots of entries I'm unlikely to memorize the list in order to learn what I might focus on, as it would likely just seem a collection of random words. As opposed to reading the text in which presumably things will be fleshed out.
