| Sumario: | The Latin Avicenna is recognized as one of the sources of the Latin Scholastic metaphysics of being. 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. |
