Synopsis

The overall spirit that permeates this volume is Clarke's firm conviction that the philosophical thought of St. Thomas Aquinas is an inexhaustibly rich and profound resource, and his purpose is to share this conviction with contemporary philosophers. In so doing Clarke both reflects and triggers significant new directions in contemporary Thomistic thought.

About this title

Review:

"Explorations in Metaphysics is both a reflection of W. Norris Clarke's long career of probing and questioning and the product of an intellect focused on some of the most profound and difficult problems facing the contemporary metaphysician. Although Clarke's textual knowledge of Aquinas is unsurpassed, he is no exegete; rather he is a dynamic interpreter drawing upon a master as he engages some of the best minds of his own generation. Whatever the topic . . . one can count on uncommon learning and analysis."--Jude P. Dougherty, The Catholic University of America

Synopsis:

This collection of essays is a compilation of the thought and work of W. Norris Clarke, a philosopher inspired by the Thomistic tradition. Each essay offers arguments built on the points made in previous ones as they address the themes of the metaphyics of reality and the philosophy of God.
