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.
