“The Analytic Thomist,” Rob Koons, delivered the 2021 Aquinas Lecture at the University of Dallas. Here he engages the possibility of a bridge between philosophy and metaphysics proper. Koons boldly lays out his position: without Aristotelian metaphysics, there is no Aristotelian philosophy of nature, and there is no philosophy of nature in Aristotle without acknowledging his natural science. His lecture thus challenges Thomists and their respective approaches to hylomorphism and their all too frequent quickness to discard it. (Koons lays down the gauntlet. if one denies hylomorphism there can be no transubstantiation!)
A bonus addition to this volume in the Dallas lecture series is Koon's “Aristotle, god and the Quantum.”

Robert C. Koons is a professor of philosophy at the university of texas at Austin, where he has taught for 33 years. with degrees from Oxford and U.C.L.A., his most recent interest is in the Aristotelian interpretation of quantum theory, defending and articulating Thomism in contemporary terms, and arguments for classical theism. His publications include Realism Regained (Oxford University Press, 2000), and The Atlas of Reality: A Comprehensive Guide to Metaphysics, with Timothy H. Pickavance. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2017).
