Anthony Kenny's treatment breathes love, care and respect for Aquinas from beginning to end. The thoroughness of his chronological examination of the spread of texts to be contended with and his painstaking analyses make the book solidly useful as a work of reference.

David Braine, British Journal for the History of Philosophy

Kenny takes the reader through the issues in an unsurprisingly clear and persuasive manner.

Medium Aevum

... a commendable addition to Anthony Kenny's distinguished portfolio of books on Thomism.

Martin Stone, Times Literary Supplement

Anthony Kenny offers a critical examination of a central metaphysical doctrine of Thomas Aquinas, the greatest of the medieval philosophers. Aquinas's account of being is famous and influential: but Kenny argues that it in fact suffers from systematic confusion. Because of the centrality of the doctrine, this has implications for other parts of Aquinas's philosophical system: in particular, Kenny shows that the idea that God is pure being is a hindrance, not a help, to Aquinas's natural theology. Kenny's clear and incisive study, drawing on the scholastic as well as the analytic tradition, dispels the confusion and offers philosophers and theologians a guide through the labyrinth of Aquinas's ontology.
