The metaphysics of good and evil according to Suárez

Viac o knihe

This volume presents the first English translation of Francisco Suárez's metaphysical disputations on good and evil, specifically Disputations X and XI from the 54 Disputationes Metaphysicae (1596). It includes selected passages from Disputation XXIII and other works in an appendix. A substantial introduction offers an interpretation of Suárez's views on good and evil, situating them within a broader philosophical and historical context. The translation features notes that identify Suárez's textual sources and address textual issues, while a glossary clarifies his technical terminology and connects it to scholastic traditions, particularly Aristotle and his Latin commentators. An English-Latin index provides Latin equivalents for English terms, and a bibliography lists cited works and additional relevant sources. The translation is accessible, with extensive annotations to elucidate Suárez's references and provide further explanations. The glossary includes detailed notes on over two hundred Scholastic terms, making it a valuable resource for readers unfamiliar with the terminology of the Schoolmen. Additionally, the volume includes indices of Latin equivalents, authors cited, and a comprehensive subject index, culminating in a thorough bibliography that enhances this exemplary edition.
