William A. Wallace, O.P. on the philosophy of nature:
The Modeling of Nature
Read the opponent of the River Forest approach, Lawrence Dewan, O.P., but be sure to read Benedict Ashley's reply to Lawrence Dewan (in reply to Dewan on "St. Thomas, Physics, and the Principle of Metaphysics", The Thomist 61 (1997): 549-6).
In The Way toward Wisdom (UND, 2006), pp.146-153, Benedict Ashley also has a definitive response to Dewan. (See also pp.153-158 for Ashley's response to Wippel; pp.158-163 for his response to Owens/Knasas; and pp.256-57 with p.520 n.11 for his response to Clarke.)
