* Because Metaphysics helps you recognize what is true, good and beautiful;
* Because Metaphysics helps you to think clearly;

* Because those who have taken the course say they now find it easier to read St. Thomas Aquinas, the prince of theologians;

* Because Dr. Waters studied under the eminent Father Austin Woodbury who was a student of the great Father Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange OP, perhaps the top Thomist of the 20th Century. There are few today with such a rich pedigree in learning;

Your participation in this course on metaphysics can be the beginning of the Thomistic Revival these great men had envisioned;
* Because Dr. Waters applies metaphysics to daily life, with applications to the philosophy of human nature and ethics;
* Because Dr. Waters keeps things buoyant with his lively sense of humor;
* Because your Catholic formation is seriously deficient without a study of true metaphysics.
