In the latter half of the twentieth century, analytical philosophy was dominant in the English-speaking world and tended to ignore the other two traditions. Now, however, analytical philosophy is less isolationist. It has come to appreciate the vitality of historical philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGiven their commonality of interests and shared appreciation of the values of conceptual clarity and argumentative rigour, it is particularly appropriate that there should be engagement between the main English-language tradition and the philosophy of Aquinas and, more broadly, of Thomism. The essays in this collection range widely across the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind and action, and theory of value with most linking analytical and Aristotelian-Thomistic ideas and some focusing on Aquinas in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis collection is distinctive in content and unusual in North American publishing in the areas of medieval philosophy, scholasticism, and Thomism in that the majority of the contributors are based in Europe—many at medieval universities in which scholasticism had a historical presence, and in some cases a prominent and distinguished one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMind, Metaphysics, and Value\u003c\/em\u003e brings together the interests, knowledge, and expertise of a wide range of scholars to form a broad and exciting intellectual community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52735372198168,"sku":"9780268034672","price":34.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/imind-metaphysics-and-value-in-the-thomistic-and-analytical-traditions-hardback-9780268034672","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
