Philosophy in the Aristotelian-Thomist Tradition: A Primer
The Aristotelian-Thomist Tradition has long had an enduring place in the history of Western philosophy, so much so, in fact, that it is referred to as the Perennial Tradition. Written specifically for those who are in formation for service in the church, this essential text examines the metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics associated with the Aristotelian-Thomist Tradition and brings its insights into conversation with other philosophical perspectives. The text's summary of philosophy's history and more recent developments in Thomistic thought provide useful context as well. Although written for those who are new to the academic discipline of philosophy, this text does not shy away from some of its thorniest issues. It will thus be of value not just in the classroom, but as a much-needed resource for those who hope to labor in the vineyard of pastoral service.

Praise for this book
"Daniel Lowery's profound work is a beacon of clarity in the study of Catholic philosophy. This primer is more than educational--it's a transformative journey into the heart of the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition, essential for anyone engaged in diaconal formation and in Catholic theological and philosophical pursuits."
--Dominic Cerrato, editor, The Deacon
"In Philosophy in the Aristotelian-Thomist Tradition, Daniel Lowery delivers a text that explores key dimensions of that tradition along with the concepts essential for a fundamental understanding of those dimensions. His explanations are clear, comprehensive, and well documented. Lowery also fruitfully engages that tradition in conversations with other philosophical schools, some of which arose as responses to Aristotle/Thomas. His pedagogical tools and 'Faith Connections' enhance the value of a text that informs and stimulates philosophical investigation for a variety of audiences as well as ministry candidates."
--John M. Shields, associate professor of theology and education, Calumet College of St. Joseph
"Daniel Lowery's Philosophy in the Aristotelian-Thomist Tradition provides an excellent primer for aspirants in formation for the permanent diaconate to prepare them for academic and theology studies. It is accessible for those who are new to the study of philosophy, providing a history and evolution of philosophical thought and solid foundation for understanding metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. I would recommend it for the intellectual formation of permanent deacon aspirants and candidates."
