Etienne Gilson was one of the most influential intellectuals and
philosophers of the twentieth century. Some have credited him with
expanding the spectrum of philosophical thought that had previously
been limited by nineteenth-century analysts and positivists. Gilson
devoted six decades to the study of the major philosophical figures
of the Middle Ages. His interpretations of them are justly seen as
new and insightful, and have exercised enormous influence on
research in philosophy and on its presentation in the classroom. A
?Gilson Society? has been active for years, and the Institut
catholique in Paris has created a Gilson Chair in Metaphysics. A
French publisher has announced a multi-volume publication of his
complete works. These seven previously unpublished lectures -
Gilson termed them ?Quests? - represent his mature thought on three
key philosophical questions: the nature of philosophy, ?species, ?
and ?matter.? These are issues of perennial and pertinent interest
to both philosophers and scientists. Gilson presents them here with
his characteristic clarity, sense, and humour
