註釋The book intends to break the current impass in neo-Thomist debate on how to begin metaphysics. The debate assumes that metaphysics starts with attaining concepts appreciated as spanning both the material and immaterial orders of reality. Taking inspiration from Joseph Owens' work in Aquinas, Knasas questions this assumption and shows that no philosophical nor textual exigency for the assumption exists. For the entry into metaphysics, Knasas substitutes simply a judgmental grasp of the esse of sensible things.
