Examining Albert's reading of "The Book of Causes", this text asks: how does he view the relation between faith and reason to identify creation with emanation from God; and how does he understand Platonism and Aristotelianism to find in a 5th-century Neoplatonist the key to Aristotle's meaning.

Paperback. Theodore Sider presents a broad new vision of metaphysics centred on the idea of structure. To describe the world well we must use concepts that 'carve at the joints', so that conceptual structure matches reality's structure. This approach illuminates a wide range of topics, such as time, modality, ontology, and the status of metaphysics itself. Num Pages: 334 pages, black & white illustrations, figures.
