In a series of publications over the course of a decade, Edward
Feser has argued for the defensibility and abiding relevance to
issues in contemporary philosophy of Scholastic ideas and
arguments, and especially of Aristotelian-Thomistic ideas and
arguments. This work has been in the vein of what has come to be
known as "analytical Thomism," though the spirit of the project
goes back at least to the Neo-Scholasticism of the period from the
late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth.
Neo-Scholastic Essays collects some of Feser's academic papers from
the last ten years on themes in metaphysics and philosophy of
nature, natural theology, philosophy of mind, and ethics. Among the
diverse topics covered are: the relationship between Aristotelian
and Newtonian conceptions of motion; the varieties of teleological
description and explanation; the proper interpretation of Aquinas's
Five Ways; the impossibility of a materialist account of the human
intellect; the philosophies of mind of Kripke, Searle, Popper, and
Hayek; the metaphysics of value; the natural law understanding of
the ethics of private property and taxation; a critique of
political libertarianism; and the defensibility and
indispensability to a proper understanding of sexual morality of
the traditional "perverted faculty argument."
