Hylomorphism between Thomism and Scotism

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Although hylomorphism is often regarded as a kind of common ground for the entire scholastic tradition, the aim of this paper is to show that its Thomistic and non-Thomistic versions are radically different. The author takes a developed Scotistic version of hylomorphism (as presented in the work of B. Mastri and B. Belluto) as a representative specimen of the non-Thomistic interpretation and argues that in Scotism the very aim and scope of hylomorphic analysis is quite different from that of the betterknown Thomistic interpretation of the doctrine. He claims that the root of the difference is a difference over what metaphysical analysis can and cannot achieve. Whereas in Thomism hylomorphism is a theory that serves to explain the very “beingness” of a being in terms of principles which are neither beings nor non-beings (because they come “before” a being is constituted), the Scotistic position regards such a “subentitative” analysis as impossible, and interprets hylomorphic analysis as simply reducing complex beings to simple ones, i.e. as exposing not principles, but elementary kinds of being. The acceptance or rejection of the real distinction between essence and exis tence seems to be not the source but just an implication of this more fundamental difference between Thomism and non-Thomism.
