Gunther Laird,\nwho blogs here, as a keen interest in Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophy as a\npertains to Natural Law Theory. Natural Law Theory is often the flavour of Catholic\nthinkers and is particularly espoused by Christian philosophers, in modern\ntimes, such as Edward Feser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laird&#8217;s book, The\nUnnecessary Science, is a solid reputation of Feser&#8217;s own position from his own\nviewpoint. That is to say, the author grants. These are some of his key\npremises in order to bring down Feser&#8217;s own arguments from within is\nAristotelian-Thomistic paradigms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feser&#8217;s arguments wouldn&#8217;t even get the ground if you can&#8217;t establish some form of ontological realism. This is a huge weakness in his worldview; however, Laird grants him such philosophical realism and runs with it, and still shows that Feser&#8217;s position is untenable, philosophically speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book aims to be useful for the intelligent\nlayman interested in this area. The author doesn&#8217;t assume too much of the\nreader and guides them through some of the technical points, hopefully never\nleaving them adrift in what might be for them unchartered philosophical seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep an eye out for this book and we will continue to bring you news of\nits imminent publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Onus Books is proud to announce a new title for publication in the very near future.
