Bøker av W. Norris Clarke

Provides a compilation of the thought and work of W. Norris Clarke, S.J., a philosopher inspired by the Thomistic tradition, who in 45 years of teaching and writing has delved into many of the central problems of perennial philosophy and made a significant contribution to the ongoing history of American Thomism.

The One and the Many presents metaphysics as an integrated whole, drawing on on Aquinas' themes, structure, and insight.

The author is known for his development of a Thomistic personalism. To be a person, according to Saint Thomas, is to take conscious self-possession of one's own being, to be master of oneself. But our incarnate mode of being human involves living in a body whose life unfolds across time, and is inevitably dispersed across time.

Includes three lectures delivered by the author at Wake Forest University in 1979. This book is a useful resource for scholars and teachers of the philosophy of religion.
