This book provides a fresh reading of Aquinas' metaphysics in the
light of insights from the works of Frege. In particular,
Ventimiglia argues that Aquinas' doctrine of being can be better
understood through Frege's distinction between the 'there is' sense
and the 'present actuality' sense of being, as interpreted by Peter
Geach and Anthony Kenny. Aquinas' notion of essence becomes clearer
in the light of Frege's distinction between objects and concepts
and his account of concepts as functions. Aquinas' doctrine of
trancendentals is clarified with the help of Frege's accounts of
assertion and negation. Aquinas after Frege provides us with a new
Aquinas, which pays attention to his texts and their historical
context. Ventimiglia's development of 'British Thomism' furnishes
us with a lucid and exciting re-reading of Aquinas' metaphysics.
