Among Teske’s many books, five are about Henry of Ghent (1217-93), a leading theologian at the University of Paris during the final quarter of the 13th century. The articles here trace the
development of Teske’s acquaintance with Henry’s thought over the past 20 years or so. Among the topics are his criticism of the Aristotelian arguments for God’s existence, distinctions in his
metaphysics, some aspects of his debt to Avicenna’s metaphysics, Augustine’s influence on his philosophy, the freedom of the human will, and the analogy of being. Annotation ©2013 Book News,
