Abstract
This is rich fare, a book which will provide satisfying reading for philosophers and theologians alike. The very title of Kenneth L. Schmitz’s The Texture of Being: Essays in First Philosophy suggests an author with anun common ability to turn a phrase. Curious readers will find themselves enticed by chapters with titles such as ‘Enriching the Copula,’ ‘The Geography of the Human Person’ and ‘The Witness of Beauty.’ Schmitz’s work, as presented here, is the fruit of many years’ thinking. At times individual articles may show their age, written as they were in response to the pressing philosophical issues of their day, but they never lose their remarkable freshness and their ability to invite the reader to think deeply.
