No full textEl presente volumen es una recopilación de estudios muy variados en honor del Profesor Marco Arosio, un reconocido especialista en filosofía medieval fallecido en 2009. Su publicación estuvo a cargo de la «Cattedra Marco Arosio di Alti Studi Medievali» de la Facultad de Filosofía, Ateneo Pontificio Regina Apostolorum. El editor del libro, Alain Contat, realiza una breve presentación en la que intenta conectar los diversos temas de cada sección del volumen y justificar la selección de autores, que incluye, entre otros nombres, a Alberto Magno, Tomás de Aquino y Buenaventura. Si bien los colaboradores podrían haber elegido fijar la mirada y llamar la atención sobre figuras más desconocidas del período medieval, afirma Contat, la elección de estos célebres pensadores garantizaría el paso de la verdad estructural de sus sistemas filosóficos —esto es, la coherencia interna de sus principios, procedimientos y conclusiones— a la verdad formal acerca de las cosas mismas, que sus doctrinas expresan

El esse y el bien en el comentario al De divinis nominibus del Pseudo Dinosio Areopagita
No full textFor more than a half century, the friends of St. Thomas Aquinas have been interested in the influence which the treatise On the divine names has had on metaphysics. Following this trail, we would like to tarry here on the reciprocal link between good and being (esse) in the commentary of the Angelic Doctor. We hope to have clearly shown the two lines of direction which command, on this point, the reception of Pseudo-Dionysius in the thought of Aquinas: a strong divergence, which leads the latter to reverse the Dionysian primacy of good over being; and a no less strong convergence, which leads to the notion of intensive esse, source of all the perfection of being.Desde hace más de medio siglo, los amigos de santo Tomás de Aquino se han interesado en la influencia que el tratado sobre Los nombres divinos ha ejercido en su metafísica. En este camino, nos detendremos aquí sobre las relaciones recíprocas entre el bien y el ser (esse) en el comentario del Doctor angélico. Esperamos haber puesto más claramente en evidencia las dos líneas directrices que gobiernan, en este punto, la recepción del Pseudo Dionisio en el pensamiento del Aquinate: una fuerte divergencia, que conduce a este último a invertir la primacía dionisiana del bien sobre el ser; y una no menos fuerte convergencia, que desemboca en la noción de esse intensivo, fuente de toda la perfección del ente
L’analogia dell’ente e l’Essere sussistente nel tomismo contemporaneo
No full textSummary: This study intends to present, analyse and evaluate the fairly divergent interpretations elaborated by experts studying St. Thomas, from the 1930s onwards, with regard to his doctrine of analogy, particularly in the transcendental context of the question
of God. With this purpose in mind, it proceeds in three stages. In the first place, we offer an inventory of the successive positions adopted by St. Thomas on this matter, from the Scriptum to the Summa theologiae. Secondly, we study the theories of analogy of Maurilio
Texeira-Leite Penido, Johann Baptist Metz and Cornelio Fabro, highlighting the very close link between these theories and the respective ontologies of these authors. In this way, we bring out the connection between the way each author understands the Thomasian esse and the way his thought reflects upon analogy. In the third place, we outline the development of the historiographical reconstructions of the problem which have emerged in the time from the end of the Second World War up to our own days. This brief reconstruction provides us with criteria of judgment to undertake a historical and a theoretical evaluation of the three positions investigated in the second part.

Il confronto con Heidegger nel tomismo contemporaneo
No full textThis study analyzes the way in which contemporary Thomistic metaphysics has dealt with Heidegger’s Denken. To make the investigation more precise and systematic, two methodological choices were made. In the first place, three Thomists were chosen that, on the one hand, addressed the thought of Heidegger at length, but that, on the other, hail from three different cultural areas and illustrate three profondly different theoretical positions within the framework of Thomistic thought: the French Dominican Maurice Corvez, the German Jesuit Johann Baptist Lotz, and the Italian Stigmatine Father Cornelio Fabro. In the second place, the comparison between the Thomistic metaphysics of esse and the Heideggerian meditation on Sein was structured around two coordinates: first, the relationship between Dasein and being, second, the relationship between “to be” and a being, the Thomistic analogon of which are the relationship between ens as primum cognitum and the being of things, and that between esse and ens in the thing itself.
In this way, the study presents three opposing configurations of Thomistic ens, and therefore three very different evaluations of Heideggerian thought. For Corvez, and for the Thomism proper to the Dominican tradition, real ens is the realization of a formal act by an existential act, the latter being strictly proportioned to the former; for this reason, the composition of essence and esse does not imply any ontological difference between ens and the being by which it is. What results is a fundamentally negative evaluation of Heidegger’s reflection. From the perspective of “Transcendental Thomism”, finite ens is conceived of as the real limitation of an esse that consciousness anticipates as the ideal totality of possibles, such that the ontological difference is grasped as the constitutive nucleus of both reality and thought. For this reason, Lotz offers a positive judgment on Heidegger’s work, yet points out that an ultimate foundation of being on Ipsum Esse Subsistens is lacking. According to Fabro, ens is seen as a synthetic plexus that unites a specifying essence and an intensive act of being, and underscores the “emergence” of the latter over both the content of the thing and the act that thinks of ens. For this reason, he concedes that Heidegger’s presentation of the ontological difference is a powerful stimulus for the metaphysical problem, but holds that it cannot be considered as a valid solution to that same problem
