Beschreibung
Metaphysics, in its classical version, deals with the basic understanding of reality i.e. things as concretely existing; it tries to give the answers to the following questions: What is being? Which are the transcendental proprieties of being and how to understand them? What is the structure of being, founding the problem of the causes and casuality as such? How to understand the analogy of being and connected with it the analogy of knowledge, in the ultimate perspective of the existence of God? The solutions of these problems go through the understanding of the interpretations of being given by Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas and modern thinkers.

«With this work, the second of the Catholic Thought from Lublin series, the Polish Thomist Albert Krapiec has written a veritable classic, a work destined to be ranked with the famous scholastic books of this century. ...this work is distinguished by its lucidity, simplicity, depth, and precision of insight, as also by its obvious assimilation and analysis of recent controversies and doctrines. Nothing is cursorily treated, and all judgments are analyzed and justified. This is philosophic 'aggiornamento' with a vengeance, incorporating and developing this century's scholasticism and assessing with fairness transcendental Thomism, phenomeology, and other major schools of philosophy.» (Chrisopher Albrecht, Review of Metaphysics)
«...on possède ici un excellent ouvrage mûri au cours de longues années d'enseignement et de réflexion, très claire, qui permettra à tous ceux qui le souhaitent de prendre connaissance d'une pensée vivante, qui ne s'est pas laissé intimider par la soi-disant mort de la métaphysique. On aura d'ailleurs tout le loisir de pouvoir entrer en discussion sereine avec l'A., car la limpidité de l'exposé rationnel et bien argumenté y invite agréablement.» (Michel Bastit, Revue Thomiste)
