Time and Eternity in Mid-Thirteenth-Century Thought

by Rory Fox

Rory Fox challenges the traditional understanding that Thomas Aquinas believed that God exists totally outside of time. His study investigates the work of several mid-thirteenth-century writers, including Albert the Great and Bonaventure as well as Aquinas, examining their understanding of the topological and metrical properties of time. Fox thus provides access to a wealth of material on medieval concepts of time and eternity, while using the conceptual tools of modern analytic philosophy to express his conclusions.

[Bento Espinosa · Rating 1 out of 5]

As well as being dull, this book is confusing, since it's badly written, with grammar problems, and poorly structured. The author gets lost in his own writing, and his "ideas", which are poorly formulated, go nowhere. As if all that wasn't enough, the author's research is poorly done and superficial. It's not surprising that no one has said anything about this book, which I unfortunately had the displeasure of reading.
