Which Essence Is Brought Into Being by the Existential Act?
The Thomist 81 (4):471-505 (2017)
Abstract
I argue that the essence that is actualized by existence is the essence that is a determinate nature in an individual and not the essence absolutely considered. This essence in individuals has a potential being that is actualized by existence. This thesis has important consequences for the essence/existence distinction in Thomas AquinasAuthor's Profile
