The time has come for another compte rendu of articles from recent issues of The Thomist. I will first discuss the articles in these issues generally, and then focus on two of particular note, at least in the eyes of this reviewer. The first is an article by Dr. Glen Coughlin on the old Thomistic debate regarding the relationship between natural philosophy and metaphysics. The second is Dr. Barrett Turner’s excellent contribution to the proper understanding of the ius gentium in Thomistic natural law theory. Both concern issues of importance regarding perennial principles dear to disciples of the Angelic Doctor, and they deserve to be well-known and carefully studied.
