Description
Book SynopsisThis volume is a tribute to Fr John F. Wippel. These essays unfold new research on some of the most intriguing topics in Aquinas's metaphysics, from the most recent generation of scholars formed by Wippel's pioneering work.
Trade ReviewIndividualy, the essays make contributions across a range of topics in metaphysics. Collectively, the volume holds together thematically: each contribution makes some reference to Wippel's scholarship, and the organization makes clear that the diverse topics cover the range of Wippel's methodological exposition of Thomistic metaphysics. The result admirably combines three features which rarely coincide in a Festschrift: a collection of essays which (a) constitute an effective tribute to an honoree, (b) are thematically coherent, and (c) are of consistently high quality as valuable contributions to scholarship."" - Joshua Hochschild, Mount St. Mary's University
