Anthony Kenny offers a critical examination of Thomas Aquinas's influential account of being, arguing that it suffers from systematic confusion. Because of the centrality of the doctrine, this has implications for other parts of Aquinas's philosophical system. Kenny's clear and incisive study dispels the confusion and offers philosophers and theologians a guide through the labyrinth of Aquinas's ontology.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Anthony Kenny's treatment breathes love, care and respect for Aquinas from beginning to end. The thoroughness of his chronological examination of the spread of texts to be contended with and his painstaking analyses make the book solidly useful as a work of reference. David Braine, British Journal for the History of Philosophy Kenny takes the reader through the issues in an unsurprisingly clear and persuasive manner. Medium Aevum ... a commendable addition to Anthony Kenny's distinguished portfolio of books on Thomism. Martin Stone, Times Literary Supplement
