{"product_id":"9780268204075","title":"Aims : A Brief Metaphysics for Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Aims: A Brief Metaphysics for Today, James W. Felt turns his attention to combining elements of Thomas Aquinas's metaphysics, especially its deep ontology, with Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy to arrive at a new possibility for metaphysics. In his distinctive style, Felt concisely pulls together the strands of epistemology, ontology, and teleology, synthesizing these elements into his own \"process-enriched Thomism.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Aims does not simply discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each philosopher's position, but blends the two into a cohesive argument based on principles derived from immediate experience. Felt arrives at what he calls a \"Whiteheadian-type solution,\"appealing to his original concept of the \"essential aim\"as necessary for understanding our existence in a coherent yet unique world. This concise, finely crafted discussion provides a thoroughly teleological, value-centered approach to metaphysics. Aims, an experiment in constructive metaphysics, is a thorough and insightful project in modern philosophy. It will appeal to philosophers and students of philosophy interested in enriching their knowledge of contemporary conceptions of metaphysics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48667117977835,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":183.12,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780268204075-1.jpg?v=1781614035","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780268204075","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
