One of the most remarkable features of mid-to-late twentieth
century analytic philosophy is the revival of interest in the
traditional problems of metaphysics. However, given the long period
of neglect from which metaphysics in only now emerging, it is
perhaps not surprising that philosophers in the analytic tradition
are still finding their metaphysical feet, particularly on
meta-metaphysical and methodological matters. Thus contemporary
metaphysicians find themselves in an exciting but ultimately
unstable position: We are convinced that metaphysical questions are
worth pursing, but we still lack a convincing story to offer our
detractors about how we conduct our business "qua" metaphysicians.
This essay is an attempt to provide such a story. The core
recommendation is that we need not re-invent the discipline out of
whole cloth if we are willing to learn from the past masters,
particularly the Scholastics. What ultimately emerges is a defense
of Scholastic metaphysical principles based on contemporary
evolutionary biology.
