Not when the universe began, but what grounds its causal activity at each instant. Recovering Aquinas's Second Way in a synchronic key, this book argues that every network of causes acting at once and hierarchically must be finite and rest on a necessary, unconditioned first cause, the pure act of being. In dialogue with contemporary physics, it offers three convergent natural-deduction proofs, reinforced by modal reasoning in S5, and answers the strongest objections, from Hume and Russell to quantum indeterminism, the multiverse, and the recent thesis of existential inertia. A rigorous, contemporary case that the intelligibility of the real points to a transcendent foundation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonio Hidalgo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3868383204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783868383201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verlag Editiones Scholasticae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Antonio Hidalgo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997928435967,"sku":"9783868383201","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transcendental-causality-and-the-intelligibility-antonio-hidalgo-9783868383201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
