{"product_id":"being-and-goodness-scott-macdonald-9780801423123","title":"Being and Goodness: The Concept of Good in Metaphysics and Philosophical Theology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe intuition that there is a necessary connection between being and goodness has guided a philosophical tradition that includes Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Boethius, and Aquinas; but surprisingly, the details of this legacy remain relatively unknown. In exploring this tradition of philosophical reflection on the nature of goodness, the twelve essays in this book (all but two published here for the first time) present some of the best recent historical scholarship in medieval philosophy and make available to nonspecialists an array of sophisticated treatments of issues that remain central to metaphysics and philosophical theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors, leading philosophers and scholars of medieval philosophy, represent a variety of points of view and take diverse methodological approaches. They address the works of figures from Augustine and Boethius to Suarez, Descartes, and Leibniz, but focus particularly on thirteenth-century thinkers, especially Aquinas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott MacDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801423120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801423123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Scott MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059726446847,"sku":"9780801423123","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b9da458-33b4-4f5f-beea-5c96ae37bb89.jpg?v=1685059964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/being-and-goodness-scott-macdonald-9780801423123","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
