  • Summary

    The Disputationes metaphysicae was doubtlessly an epoch-making book. Through the centuries it was read and praised not only by scholastic authors such as Hurtado de Mendoza and Gilson but also by non-scholastic ones such as Schopenhauer and Heidegger. After briefly describing the systematic framework of the work, I examine its character, arguing that not only does Suárez attempt to construct a rigorous Aristotelian science of being, but that there is also a certain dialectical character to the work that might be seen as an attempt to capture “contrary aspects of reality.” This peculiarity may at least in part explain the fact that its impact is far more difficult to assess than it is usually assumed.
