About this product
Product Information
The Metaphysics of Theism is the definitive study of the natural theology of Thomas Aquinas, the greatest of medieval philosophers, written by one of the world's most eminent scholars of medieval thought. Natural theology is the investigation by analysis and rational argument of fundamental questions about reality, considered in relation to God. Professor Kretzmann shows the continuing value of Aquinas's doctrines to the philosophical enterprise today; he argues that natural theology offers the only route by which philosophers can, as philosophers, approach theological propositions, and that the one presented in this book is the best available natural theology.

Reviews
'Review from previous edition Kretzmann's treatment highlights the systematic and cumulative nature of Aquinas's natural theology ... It is comparatively hard ... to find books that both come to grips with Aquinas's arguments in all their rich detail, and address the sorts of worries that a contemporary philosopher (especially a contemporary analytic philosopher) might have about their cogency. The Metaphysics of Theism is thoroughly successful on bothscores, and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in Aquinas, or more broadly in philosophical theology.'Christopher Hughes Mind'Norman Kretzmann's new book, The Metaphysics of Theism, occupies a special and prominent place in the Author's scholarly activity.'Agnieszka Kijewska, Tijdschrift voor Filosofie'Kretzmann's is a sympathetic and in many ways thoroughgoing bid both to make this medieval work intelligible to contemporary readers and to commend its metaphysics. It is enhanced by a number of well placed reminders of just how each part fits into the overall plan of the work.'Barry Miller, International Philosophical Quarterly'His book is much to be welcomed ... It is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in Aquinas and/or the project of natural theology.'Brian Davies, OP, Journal of Theological Studies'this is an excellent book, all the more welcome in that there is not similar commentary available. It contains a handy chronology of Aquinas's life, an index locorum, a concordance between the numbering of the Marietti edition and the Pegis translation, and a good bibliography. One looks forward to the appearance of the companion volumes.'Gerard J.
