Metaphysical Personalism: An Analysis of Austin Farrer's Metaphysics of Theism
Author(s)

Conti, Charles
How can we, or should we, talk about God? What concepts are involved in the concept of a Supreme Being? This book is about the search to reconcile modern metaphysics with traditional theism—focusing on the seminal work of Austin Farrer who was Warden of Keble College, Oxford until his death in 1968, and one of the most original and important philosophers of religion of this century. Conti traces the evolution of Ferrar's thought and shows why he preferred a "personalist" approach over Aristotle's metaphysics of "being."
