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.
