Excellent- More about The Cappadocian Reshaping of Metaphysics: Relational Being
Giulio Maspero explores the Cappadocians' Trinitarian Ontology and epistemology, showing how they developed a real Trinitarian Ontology through reshaping the Aristotelian category of relation, allowing a new conception of individuation based on the mutual relation of the divine Persons. This perspective was closely linked to a new epistemological conception based on apophaticism, which shattered the logical closure of their opponents and anticipated results highlighted by modern research.

In this comprehensive volume, Giulio Maspero delves into the ontology and epistemology of the Cappadocians, exploring these subjects from both historical and speculative perspectives. Through his meticulous analysis, Maspero demonstrates how the Cappadocians achieved a profound Trinitarian Ontology by reinterpreting the Aristotelian concept of relation. By rescuing this concept from its accidental dimension and integrating it into the immanence of the one divine and eternal substance, the Cappadocians forged a new understanding of individuation. This shift away from the exclusive focus on substantial difference, as seen in classical Greek philosophy, paved the way for a concept of individuation that was founded on the reciprocal relationship between the divine Persons.
Moreover, Maspero's study reveals the close connection between the Cappadocians' metaphysical reshaping and their innovative epistemological approach based on apophaticism. This epistemological framework shattered the logical closure of their opponents, challenging traditional notions of knowledge and unveiling new insights. By bridging the gap between late antique philosophy and Patristics, Maspero's work provides a valuable avenue for exploring the relational traces within the Trinity both in the world and throughout history. Through his meticulous scholarship, Maspero offers a profound exploration of the Cappadocians' intellectual legacy, shedding light on their contributions to Christian thought and theology.
