St. Thomas and the Future of Metaphysics: Aquinas Lecture, 1957 is a book written by Joseph Owens that explores the significance of the medieval philosopher and theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas, in the field of metaphysics. The book is based on Owens' lecture given at Marquette University in 1957 and is divided into three parts. In the first part, Owens provides an overview of St. Thomas' life and intellectual contributions, particularly in the area of metaphysics. He argues that St. Thomas' approach to metaphysics is unique in that it combines the insights of ancient philosophy with Christian theology. The second part of the book focuses on the relevance of St. Thomas' metaphysics to contemporary philosophy. Owens argues that St. Thomas' approach can provide a fruitful alternative to the dominant philosophical trends of the modern era, such as positivism and existentialism. In the final part of the book, Owens discusses the future of metaphysics and the role that St. Thomas' philosophy can play in shaping it. He emphasizes the importance of metaphysics in understanding the nature of reality and argues that St. Thomas' approach can provide a foundation for a renewed interest in the study of metaphysics. Overall, St. Thomas and the Future of Metaphysics is a thought-provoking book that explores the enduring significance of St. Thomas Aquinas' metaphysics in contemporary philosophical thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
