Abstract

This is a text book for an introductory course combining metaphysics and natural theology. It deals with the nature of metaphysical knowledge, act and potency, pure existence, becoming and causality, as well as the problems of natural theology like the demonstration of the existence of God, His attributes, and activity. The problems are so placed that God appears at every step of metaphysics as the first and Supreme Being, the pure act and first cause of all things.—J. K.
