In this sense, one of its particular features is the distinction between physical and metaphysical causation. This paper shows Avicenna's radical position on the metaphysical notion of causa essendi, which is fundamental to the creationist approach typical of medieval metaphysics. His radical proposal is revealed in the statement that the father is not the cause of the son, or the architect of the house, because, metaphysically speaking, the cause is the cause of being and not the cause of movement. El Avicena latino es reconocido como una de las fuentes de la metafísica del ser de la escolástica latina. En este sentido, una de sus características particulares es la distinción entre la causación física y la metafísica. Este trabajo muestra la posición radical de Avicena respecto a la noción metafísica de la causa essendi, que es fundamental para el enfoque creacionista típico de la metafísica medieval. Su propuesta radical se revela en la sentencia que establece que el padre no es la causa del hijo, o que el arquitecto no lo es de la causa porque, metafísicamente hablando, la causa es la causa del ser y no la causa del movimiento. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7785 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7785/6852 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 32 (2011); 87-98 2683-9636 Causa física causa metafísica Avicena latino metafísica medieval causa essendi Physical causation metaphysical causation Latin Avicenna Medieval metaphysics causa essendi The Causa Essendi as the Real Metaphysical Cause in the Avicenna Latinus La causa essendi como verdadera causa metafísica en el Avicenna latinus info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=7785_oai
