The Absolutization of the Essence as a Decisive Axiom of the Thomistic Metaphysics

Few theses characterize more specifically the metaphysics of Aquinas than the thesis of the real distinction between being and essence, the thesis of being as the act of the essence, the thesis of the ontological contingency of the universe and the conception of the cause of the existence of things...

The aim of the present work is to prove that these theses, as well as others derived from them, like the claim of the identity of essence and being in God and that of God’s simplicity, result from the previous absolutization of essence, that is, from Aquinas essencialist and ontologizing interpretation of the fact that existent individuals are not explicitly mentioned in definitions. Pocas tesis caracterizan de manera tan específica la metafísica de Tomás de Aquino como aquellas que sostienen la real distinción entre el ser y la esencia, la tesis del ser como acto de la esencia, la tesis de la contingencia ontológica del universo y la concepción de la causa de la existencia de las cosas como ser subsistente. El objeto del presente trabajo es probar que estas tesis, así como otras que se derivan de estas, como, por ejemplo, la que sostiene la identidad entre la esencia y el ser de Dios, y la de la simplicidad divina, son el resultado de una absolutización previa de la esencia: esto es, de la interpretación esencialista y ontologizante del hecho de que los individuos existentes no son explícitamente mencionados en las definiciones. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7828 10.34096/petm.v20077828 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7828/6891 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol 28 (2007); 83-97 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 28 (2007); 83-97 2683-9636 0325-2280 Thomas Aquinas Metaphysics Absolutization of essence subsistent being definitions Tomás de Aquino metafísica absolutización de la esencia ser subsistente definiciones The Absolutization of the Essence as a Decisive Axiom of the Thomistic Metaphysics La absolutización de la esencia como axioma fundamental de la metafísica tomista info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=7828_oai
