Summary

-- A book in systematic metaphysics and the philosophy of religion. Oliva Blanchette provides a critical response to the Heideggerian deconstruction of metaphysics. He pulls together in a coherent and encompassing whole a number of essential themes -- such as Being, Goodness, Truth, the Universe, Becoming, Substance, Matter, Form, Potency, Act, Diversity, Transcendence, Immanence, and Metaphysics itself -- and shows how they belong together when considered in the light of traditional philosophy.
-- The author explores what metaphysics is about and how relevant it remains today.
