My first foray into Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophy, this book was a primer on the topic for me as much as it was a "refutation of the new atheism". Feser made his points well, provided plenty of background information, and put forth a solid case for a system of thought that deserves (and commands, really) a way of looking at the world unfamiliar with us moderns unless we think about things long enough. I'm not entirely convinced of the value of Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophy over all philosophies since its conception, but I am interested in reading more. I think the idea is entirely compatible (and powerfully supportive) of Christianity and represents one of the few coherent rational views of the world. I will be posting a longer review on my personal website. I highly recommend this book to anyone, really. My only advice to anyone reading this would be to seek out the original works of the two primary sources - Aristotle and Aquinas. Despite how complicated and technical portions of the book are that deal with these author's ideas, I believe it would be worth reading those authors to truly understand their worldview. This book, if anything, is an introduction to those two brilliant men and should be the starting point for additional reading.(less)
