Long considered one of late scholasticism's most important thinkers, Francisco Suarez has, paradoxically enough, often been treated only in relation to other medieval authors or as a transitional figure in the shift from medieval to Early Modern philosophy. As such, his thought has often been obscured and framed in terms of an alien paradigm. This book seeks to correct such approaches and examines Suarez's metaphysical thinking as it stands on its own. Suarez is shown to be much more in line with his medieval predecessors who developed their accounts of being to express the theological commitments they had made. Central to Suarez's account is a fundamental existential orientation, one that many interpreters have overlooked in favour of an understanding of being as reduced to essence or to the thinkable.
Victor M. Salas is an associate professor of Philosophy at Sacred Heart Major Seminary.
