Reviews

this is a careful, well-argued book. Whether or not one agrees with Browers interpretations of Aquinas, anyone interested in Aquinass ontology of the material world will need to take Browers book into account. And for any medievalist interested in learning the contemporary metaphysical landscape, or any metaphysician interested in understanding medieval metaphysics, I can think of no better bridge to employ than this book. Timothy Pawl, American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly a welcome addition to research on Aquinas's metaphysics and a fresh start for studies on his physics. This pondered and engaging monograph, whose reading is well recommended to both scholars and students, will certainly become a reference for future studies on Aquinas's ontology of the material world. Marta Bogo, Journal of the History of Philosophy
