76. Essays on the Philosophy of Henry of Ghent by Roland J. Teske, SJ. ISBN-13: 978-0-87462-813-5. ISBN-10: 0-87462-813-X. Paper. 275 pp. $29. Bibliography. Index.
This volume presents a collection of articles on Henry of Ghent’s philosophy with a focus on various topics in his metaphysics, such as his rejection of various points of Aristotelian philosophy and his appeal to Augustine and Avicenna. The articles deal with such questions central to Henry’s thought as his intentional distinction and his metaphysical argument for the existence of God as well as its similarity to Anselm’s article in the Proslogion. They examine his account of human freedom, the analogy of being, and his apophaticism in speaking about God, where he is clearly indebted to Pseudo-Dionysius and Maimonides.
