About this book
Questions about being, change and the causes of things guide P. Coffey's systematic treatment of metaphysics. Published in 1918, the book serves as a philosophy textbook grounded in Aristotle and the medieval Scholastic tradition. Its opening distinguishes the particular explanations offered by the sciences from philosophy's search for ultimate reasons. Coffey then organizes the subject around existence and essence, unity, truth, goodness and beauty, before turning to substance, qualities, space, time and causality.
The discussion becomes closely analytical when Coffey distinguishes a complete substance from the principles that combine to form one. His account of the human soul and its union with the body illustrates how these distinctions operate within his philosophical framework. Students of metaphysics can use the book to follow a connected set of definitions and arguments, while readers interested in intellectual history can see how Coffey presents medieval debates in relation to the philosophy of his own period.
