Description

Aquinas on Efficient Causation and Causal Powers by Gloria Frost is a comprehensive exploration of Thomas Aquinas's theories on efficient causation and causal powers. Frost delves into natural causal powers and efficient causation in nature, examining the philosophical and interpretive ambiguities in Aquinas's thought and proposing fresh solutions to conceptual difficulties. The book provides clear explanations of Aquinas's technical scholastic terminology, as well as background on medieval scientific views, including ordinary language explanations of the medieval physical theories that underpin his views on causation and causal powers. This volume offers a rich exploration of a central philosophical topic in medieval philosophy and beyond, making it valuable for scholars and advanced students working on Aquinas and medieval natural philosophy.
