Description: An Elementary Christian Metaphysics by Joseph Owens Joseph Owens presents an introduction to metaphysics designed to develop in the reader a habitus of thinking. Using original Thomistic texts and Etienne Gilsons interpretation of St. Thomas Aquinas, Owens examines the application of metaphysical principles to the issues that arise in a specifically Christian environment. From a starting point of external, sensible, non-human beings, An Elementary Christian Metaphysics focuses in the questions of existence and the nature of revealed truths. Following his historical introduction to metaphysics, Owens provides a general investigation of the first principles and causes of being, and a study of knowledge and of the divine nature and attributes in light of natural reason.

He is the author of a number of books, including An Interpretation of Existence, also published by the University of Notre Dame Press. Review "An Elementary Christian Metaphysics is intended primarily for undergraduate students as an introduction to metaphysics. . . . The scope of the metaphysical study pursued by Owens includes not only a general investigation of beings but also an analysis of knowledge (epistemology) and of the divine nature, all in light of natural reason." —Studies in Religion"Irrespective of ones intellectual genotype, an exposure to the sustained, developmental elucidation of Aquinas insights executed by an author such as Owens can only enhance any metaphysical approach to reality." —The New Scholastic Details ISBN0268209928 Author Joseph Owens Pages 402 Publisher University of Notre Dame Press Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780268209926 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-11-01 Imprint University of Notre Dame Press Place of Publication Notre Dame IN Country of Publication United States Alternative 9780268160289 DEWEY 230.01 Audience General US Release Date 2024-11-01 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
