The Order of Things: The Realism of the Principle of Finality

The Order of Things is a comprehensive guide to understanding the metaphysical principle of finality, which is the foundation of all reality.

This book provides a detailed exploration of the Aristotelian metaphysics of teleology and its connection to traditional Thomistic accounts of metaphysics.

The author, Fr.

Garrigou-Lagrange, presents a pedagogically sensitive yet speculatively profound defense of the principle, highlighting its importance in understanding the human intellect and will.

The text also covers the finality and teleology of the human intellect and will, as well as the principle of mutual interdependence of causes.

With its focus on real being and practical application, this book is an essential read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of reality and its underlying principles.
