Neuscholastische Metaphysik im 21. Jahrhundert - Eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Perspektive Edward Fesers

In this article, I offer an analysis of the main lines of Edward Feser's metaphysics. The article has three parts: In the first one, I introduce this philosophical project as a contemporary version of that particular strand of the Neo-scholastic movement that conceives of metaphysics as an intellectual enterprise that aims at justifying the commonsensical world view. In the second and larger part, I discuss three of the main publications by Feser in accordance with the outlined Neo-scholastic view. In the third and final part, I make some observations, in which I present strengths and risks that are related to this type of metaphysics.
