Methaphysics (I)

This course presents the classical metaphysics of Being. In doing so it aims to give a foundation in Aristotelian-Thomistic metaphysics.

The notion of being; from the act of affirmation to the idea of being; content of the idea of being; the analogy of being; the principles of being; transcendental properties of being; categories of being.

Students will be asked to submit an essay at the end of the first quarter and there will be a two-hour written exam at the end of the Course.
