Description

Explore a profound defense of Scholastic theory through the lens of contemporary analytic philosophy. The Metaphysics of Good and Evil provides a comprehensive look at the ideas held by Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, and other medieval and Thomistic philosophers. This work offers a unique perspective on how goodness and evil are defined and understood within a philosophical framework. By analyzing goodness as obedience to nature, the text explains how goodness exists in both the non-living and living worlds. The book also examines the privation theory of evil, treating evil as the privation of goodness. This study helps readers understand how different kinds of goodness fit into a cohesive Scholastic system. Whether you are studying theology, philosophy, or medieval thought, this Routledge publication provides a rigorous academic foundation for understanding these fundamental concepts.
