In Aims: A Brief Metaphysics for Today, James W. Felt turns his
attention to combining elements of Thomas Aquinas's metaphysics,
especially its deep ontology, with Alfred North Whitehead's process
philosophy to arrive at a new possibility for metaphysics. In his
distinctive style, Felt concisely pulls together the strands of
epistemology, ontology, and teleology, synthesizing these elements
into his own "process-enriched Thomism." Aims does not simply
discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each philosopher's
position, but blends the two into a cohesive argument based on
principles derived from immediate experience. Felt arrives at what
he calls a "Whiteheadian-type solution,"appealing to his original
concept of the "essential aim"as necessary for understanding our
existence in a coherent yet unique world. This concise, finely
crafted discussion provides a thoroughly teleological,
value-centered approach to metaphysics. Aims, an experiment in
constructive metaphysics, is a thorough and insightful project in
modern philosophy. It will appeal to philosophers and students of
philosophy interested in enriching their knowledge of contemporary
conceptions of metaphysics.
