Description

Scholastic Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction provides an overview of Scholastic approaches to fundamental questions in metaphysics. The book explores key concepts such as causation, substance, essence, and identity, drawing heavily from contemporary analytic metaphysics. The Aristotelian theory of actuality and potentiality serves as the organising theme, with a clear explanation of how this theory underpins Scholastic metaphysics. The author also examines divergent positions within Thomism, Scotism, and Suarezianism where they differ. This book is written from a Thomistic perspective, but also engages with alternative viewpoints to provide a comprehensive understanding of Scholastic ideas in the context of contemporary analytic philosophy.
