The book intends to break the current impass in neo-Thomist debate on how to begin metaphysics. The debate assumes that metaphysics starts with attaining concepts appreciated as spanning both the material and immaterial orders of reality. Taking inspiration from Joseph Owens' work in Aquinas, Knasas questions this assumption and shows that no philosophical nor textual exigency for the assumption exists. For the entry into metaphysics, Knasas substitutes simply a judgmental grasp of the esse of sensible things.

Metaphysics now joins the series of translations of Father Gardeil's Initiation a la Philosophie de S. Thomas d'Aquin. After an Introduction which discusses the general notion of metaphysics as a science, the relation of metaphysics to the critical analysis of knowledge and metaphysics as developed by Aristotle and St. Thomas, the author turns to the questions of First Philosophy which have concerned philosophers from Parmenides to Sartre and Heidegger. In seven chapters he considers being in itself and as it is known, the transcendental, the categories of being, act and potency, essence and existence and causality. As in the other volumes of this series, the author includes a generous selection of texts from the works of St. Thomas carefully correlated with the various chapters of the work itself. These are not mere snippets, but substantial quotations drawn from the Commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics, De ente et existentia, the Disputed Questions and the two Summas. The reader has the words of Aquinas in the best modern English versions before him. Here is St. Thomas for the thinker--unfiltered. A most valuable addition in this fourth volume is the technical vocabulary of Thomistic and scholastic terms, covering all four volumes of the Initiation. The beginner in metaphysics will find this book most valuable, for it presents clearly the basic problematics and the Thomistic solution of them. For the more profound student here is a clear, concise (but not cursory) review of the science. Thomistic metaphysics, in Father Gardeil's presentation, is not an historical curiosity but a living and lively discipline. While the aim of the work is to give a synthetic view of St. Thomas' thought, the insights of modern or contemporary philosophers is not neglected. The translator's notes offer clarification and add bibliographical information on works published since the French edition. Valuable as a class manual, indispensable as supplementary reading, this book can serve the needs of a strictly philosophical course or one designed as a preparation for theology.

I present the sixth volume of the Introduction to Thomistic Metaphysics. On this occasion, I deal with the topic of Essence and Existence. The distinguishing feature of Aquinas' metaphysics, as compared to Aristotle's, lies precisely in the approach and resolution of this matter. Whereas Aristotle relied on substance (ousia) to explain being, St. Thomas relies on the act of existing (esse) which, in composition with essence (essentia), gives the entity the fullness of being: existence. This thesis is controversial even within Thomism. The eminent French philosopher Etienne Gilson played a decisive role in teaching this doctrine. His contributions have made it possible to rediscover the Angelic Doctor's thought, generating a legitimate advance faithful to the Thomistic tradition. The topics are divided into 12 chapters preceded by an Introduction, as follows: 1-De ente et essentia. 2-Essence and existence in Aristotle. 3-Islamic philosophy. 4-Thomistic essence: definition. 5-Thomistic essence in compound substances. 6-Thomistic essence in simple substances. 7-The two modes of the essence in simple substances. 8-Essence in accidents. 9-Thomistic act of existing (actus essendi): definition. 10-The real distinction essence-existence. 11-The form and the actus essendi. 12-God. I add at the end an Epilogue and corresponding Notes. References to recognized authors are numerous, as always.

This book introduces readers to Thomistic philosophy through selected topics such as being, God, teleology, truth, persons and knowledge, ethics, and universals. John Peterson discusses metaphysics and the essence-existence distinction and presents what he believes is Aquinas’ strongest theistic proof. He offers a new defense Aquinas’ idea of natural ends based on the distinction between immanent and transient change. Unveiling the complexity of Aquinas’ account of truth, Peterson shows the hierarchical levels of truth in the thought of St. Thomas. The book explains why Aquinas would reject Cartesian dualism as well as both materialism and epiphenomenalism on the body-mind issue. Defending the basis of Aquinas’ natural-law ethics, Introduction to Thomistic Philosophy reveals the role of universalizability and the relation of right and good in his ethics.

I present the second book of the series "Introduction to Thomistic Metaphysics" in which I continue to develop the metaphysical treatise of St. Thomas Aquinas. In the first book, we explained the fundamental concepts of Metaphysics according to the Universal Doctor. In this opportunity, we will delve into two concepts: the definition of Metaphysics, in the first place. And the First Principles, in second place. The content consists of 14 chapters. Namely: 1-The philosophy of being. 2-"Beyond physics". 3-General notion of metaphysics. 4-The Thomistic Prologue in the Commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics. 5-Metaphysics as wisdom (or First Philosophy). 6-Metaphysics as the science of separate substances (or Theodicy) 7-Metaphysics as the science of being as being (or Ontology). 8-The First Principles. 9-The hierarchy of the First Principles. 10-The Principle of Contradiction. 11-The precedence of the Principle of Contradiction. 12-The Principle of Identity. 13-The Principle of Excluded middle (or Excluded third). 14-The principle of Sufficient raison. The epilogue, written in the form of questions and answers, aims to refresh the memory of all the concepts developed. The notes are abundant and reflect the interest in the sources and qualified Thomistic authors.

Jacques Maritain's An Introduction to Philosophy was first published in 1931. Since then, this book has stood the test of time as a clear guide to what philosophy is and how to philosophize. Inspired by the Thomistic Revival called for by Leo XIII, Maritain relies heavily on Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas to shape a philosophy that, far from sectarian theology in disguise, is driven by reason and engages the modern world. Re-released as part of the Sheed & Ward Classic series, An Introduction to Philosophy is sure to enliven the minds of students and general readers for years to come. From the new introduction by Ralph McInerny: You are about to read a magnificent introduction not only to a kind of philosophy but to philosophizing itself. Jacques Maritain was a relatively young man when he wrote this book, but his effort is one that attracts any philosopher more and more as he grows older. However odd and unusual what he says becomes, the philosopher yearns to show how even the most abstruse claims can be put into relation with what the reader already knows. That, in its essence, is what teaching is. In this book, the reader will find a wise and certain guide into philosophizing as such. And, in the end, he will find that what he reads is really only a refinement and development of what he and everybody else already knew.
