The Metaphysical Presuppositions of Being-in-the-World brings St.
Thomas Aquinas and Martin Heidegger into dialogue and argues for
the necessity of Christian philosophy. Through the confrontation of
Heideggerian and Thomist thought, it offers an original and
comprehensive rethinking of the nature of temporality and the
origins of metaphysical inquiry. The book is a careful treatment of
the inception and deterioration of the four-fold presuppositions of
Thomistic metaphysics: intentionality, causality, finitude, ananke
stenai. The analysis of the four-fold has never before been done
and it is a central and original contribution of Gilson's book. The
four-fold penetrates the issues between the phenomenological
approach and the metaphysical vision to arrive at their core and
irreconcilable difference. Heidegger's attempt to utilize the
fourfold to extrude theology from ontology provides the necessary
interpretive impetus to revisit the radical and often misunderstood
metaphysics of St. Thomas, through such problems as aeviternity,
non-being and tragedy.
