The book – for which Dr Simpson contributed the first chapter, “From Quantum Physics to Classical Metaphysics” – has been noted too for its ecumenical potential, being a philosophical work within the Abrahamic-Aristotelian tradition which crosses religious boundaries. ![]() It does so, he says, by “demonstrating how ‘the new Aristotelianism’ changes the philosophical landscape for a number of traditional topics, including God’s action within the world and the place of human beings within nature”. ![]() Neo-Aristotelian Metaphysics and the Theology of Nature (Routledge, 2021), co-edited with Dr James Orr (University of Cambridge, pictured left) and Professor Robert Koons (University of Texas) is an attempt, says Dr Simpson, “to build bridges between science, theology, and philosophy”. ![]() It is nonetheless a book that will prove “a hugely enjoyable read – even for those who will find themselves in disagreement,” says Professor Marmodoro. According to Anna Marmodoro, Professor of Metaphysics at the University of Durham, the book, Neo-Aristotelian Metaphysics and the Theology of Nature (Routledge, 2021), argues “that only a metaphysics developed on the basis of the Abrahamic-Aristotelian tradition can enable us to understand today’s world of science, the relation of God to it, and our place within it”: a thesis that is likely to stimulate debate. ![]()
