Others examine Aquinas' views on whether created agents can cause esse, whether divine omnipotence can be demonstrated philosophically, and whether Aquinas has successfully shown on philosophical grounds that God is free to create or whether because of his goodness he had to create. All of them are concerned in one way or another with important aspects of Aquinas' metaphysics. Wippel bases his interpretations on a close reading of Aquinas' texts, taking into account certain difficulties that arise from some of those texts, along with other current and sometimes quite divergent readings. While Wippel argues for a strong Platonic-Neoplatonic influence on Aquinas' metaphysics along with the widely recognized influence of Aristotle, he concludes that Aquinas' metaphysics cannot be reduced to any of these earlier sources but is a truly original production by Thomas himself.
