Relations Without Forms: Some Consequences of Aquinass Metaphysics of Relations
Vivarium 48 (3-4):279-301 (2011)
| Abstract | This article presents a new interpretation and critique of some aspects of Aquinas's metaphysics of relations, with special reference to a theological problem—the relation of God to creatures—that catalyzed Aquinas's and much medieval thought on the ontology of relations. I will show that Aquinas's ontologically reductive theory of categorical real relations should equip him to identify certain relations as real relations, which he actually identifies as relations of reason, most notably the relation of God to creatures | |||||||||
