Can Personalism be First Philosophy? Review of Juan Manuel Burgos’s Book “Personalism and Metaphysics”

In this publication, readers with only a somewhat limited philosophical background will encounter a wonderful and clear introduction to the metaphysics of Aristotle and St. Thomas, while supporters of personalism will become familiar with Burgos’s interesting and original proposal (which is nevertheless deeply rooted in the tradition associated with this current of thought). At the same time, critically minded readers will be able to familiarize themselves with the author’s lucidly presented arguments and reflect on their strength and plausibility. To sum up, it can be said that this is a book worth recommending to a wide audience.
