Metaphysics, in its classical sense, is the study of being. But what does it mean, this seemly old-fashioned word, "being"? And how does metaphysics relate to the world of human experience if it is said to go beyond physics? Is "being" something hidden behind the veil of experience? Are we in danger, in attempting to defend the idea of metaphysics, to become Hinterweltler (Nietzsche)? These are relevant questions for anyone who wants to know, today, what we can still learn from the 'old' metaphysics from the Aristotelian tradition, of which Thomas Aquinas was one the most eloquent and insightful defenders.This book offers a philosophical analysis of metaphysics as conceived and practised by Thomas. Its aim is not to present another exposition of the doctrine of Thomistic metaphysics; its focus is on the characteristic movement of metaphysics, going from the world of experience to the divine principle of all being. By a close reading and interpretation of the relevant texts, it seeks to clarify the specific dynamics of the science of metaphysics, as present in the works of Aquinas. In the Aristotelian tradition, metaphysics exhibits a typical onto-theological orientation, as the study of being in general and the study of divine being. Going against a general tendency in the Thomistic tradition to loosen metaphysics as ontology from its theological part, this book presents a fresh and innovative reading which emphasizes the inner unity of metaphysics.

Di Tommaso d’Aquino, il più noto e studiato teologo medievale, ci sono giunti cinque testi autografi, che vengono presentati qui per la prima volta all’interno di uno studio complessivo.La scrittura che li caratterizza è talmente ostica da essersi guadagnata, già nel Medioevo, l’appellativo di littera inintelligibilis, e spesso viene considerata una scrittura assolutamente personale. Quando si studiano le opere di un uomo considerato eccezionale, in effetti, è facile incorrere nell’errore di giudicare anomalo, o straordinario, tutto ciò che egli produsse, anche sul piano materiale. Obiettivo principale di questo lavoro è quello di descrivere la scrittura di Tommaso e di inserirla nel suo contesto, esaminandola come un’espressione della scrittura dei dotti del tempo.Il volume è suddiviso in tre parti. Dopo una descrizione codicologica dei manoscritti conservati, ci si concentra sulla scrittura attraverso una minuziosa descrizione dei fatti grafici. Infine, a partire dagli elementi materiali ricavati dall’esame degli autografi, viene esaminato il metodo di lavoro seguito da Tommaso e dai suoi collaboratori.Il punto di vista privilegiato è quello della storia della cultura scritta: gli autografi di Tommaso sono analizzati nella loro materialità come testimonianze importanti che aprono spiragli di conoscenza sul lavoro intellettuale nel medioevo.

In this book, Arthur Keefer offers a new interpretation of the book of Proverbs from the standpoint of virtue ethics. Using an innovative method that bridges philosophy and biblical studies, he argues that much of the instruction within Proverbs meets the criteria for moral and theological virtue as set out in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. Keefer presents the moral thought of Proverbs in its social, historical, and theological contexts. He shows how these contexts shed light on the conceptualization of virtue, the virtues that are promoted and omitted, and the characteristics that make Proverbs a distinctive moral tradition. In giving undivided attention to biblical virtue, this volume opens the way for new avenues of study in biblical ethics, including law, narrative, and other aspects of biblical instruction and wisdom.
