Scholastic Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction provides an
overview of Scholastic approaches to causation, substance, essence,
modality, identity, persistence, teleology, and other issues in
fundamental metaphysics. The book interacts heavily with the
literature on these issues in contemporary analytic metaphysics, so
as to facilitate the analytic reader's understanding of Scholastic
ideas and the Scholastic reader's understanding of contemporary
analytic philosophy. The Aristotelian theory of actuality and
potentiality provides the organizing theme, and the crucial
dependence of Scholastic metaphysics on this theory is
demonstrated. The book is written from a Thomistic point of view,
but Scotist and Suarezian positions are treated as well where they
diverge from the Thomistic position.
