Thomist Realism and the Linguistic TurnPhilosophers will be richly rewarded by reading John OCallaghans new book, Thomistic Realism and the Linguistic Turn. Based on his broad knowledge of Aristotle and Aquinas, OCallaghan provides not only an excellent treatment of Aquinass epistemology but also a superb demonstration of just how Aquinas might contribute to contemporary debates. Traditionally, the camps of realism and idealism fiercely engaged one another in the field of epistemology.
