11Accidental Being (review)Review of Metaphysics 44 (2): 406-409. 1990.Peter of Bergomo, one of the first to attempt to compile an index and concordance of Aquinas's works, often noted apparent discrepancies between diverse texts. His entry for "accidens" is no exception since approximately ten percent of its divisions are prefaced by the familiar "oppositum videtur dicere." The reader is left with the task of determining whether Bergomo's notations concern only apparent contradictions or whether St. Thomas indeed made significant alterations in his understanding o…Read more

34Pseudo-Dionysius and the Metaphysics of Aquinas (review)Review of Metaphysics 47 (2): 375-377. 1993.This valuable work, one of a very restricted number dedicated to the subject, is a revised version of a doctoral dissertation directed by Gerard Verbeke and submitted to the Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven. It is meritorious not only for its sensitive appraisal of Dionysius's own doctrines and Aquinas's critical assimilation of them, but also because of the evident effort expended to present a global, yet accurate portrayal of Dionysius's principles and viae as developed by Aquinas.

By integrating prior superb biographical presentations and immersing herself in Gilson’s major works, Murphy attempts to detail his evolving understanding of art in terms of his deepening concern with sources and his constant dialogical engagement with major intellectual personages at different phases of his career.

11Species Intelligibilis (review)Review of Metaphysics 49 (2): 439-441. 1995.This ambitious work is an examination of the origin and development of the doctrine of intelligible species extending from classical thought through late medieval discussions. A second forthcoming volume will carry the analyses into Renaissance controversies, developments of late Scholasticism, and the elimination of the intelligible species in modern non-Aristotelian speculators. The presentation concentrates on printed sources of primary texts and a comprehensive utilization of most of the rec…Read more
