Immanent Transcendence

<p><b>One of the first book-length <br>English-language treatments devoted to Francisco Suárez's metaphysics</b></p><p>Long considered one of late scholasticism's most important thinkers Francisco Suárez has paradoxically enough often been treated only in relation to other medieval authors or as a transitional figure in the shift from medieval to early modern philosophy. As such his thought has often been obscured and framed in terms of an alien paradigm. This book seeks to correct such approaches and examines Suárez's metaphysical thinking as it stands on its own. Suárez is shown to be much more in line with his medieval predecessors who developed their accounts of being to express the theological commitments they had made. Central to Suárez's account is a fundamental existential orientation one that many interpreters have overlooked in favour of an understanding of being as reduced to essence or to the thinkable.</p><p>This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).</p>
