EGZYSTENCJALNA INTERPRETACJA TOMASZA Z AKWINU KONCEPCJI BYTU W UJĘCIU ÉTIENNE GILSONA
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The article attempts to present Étienne Gilson’s approach to Thomas Aquinas’ existen-tial interpretation of being. The French thinker’s apprehension of Aquinas’ system is characterized by accentuating existential perspective within the framework of the analysis of the structure of being. Gilson supported existential Thomism and, conse-quently, strongly emphasized the role of existence (esse) for being real. The French philosopher was of opinion that the existence of being should be depicted by means of existential judgments that affirm real and specific existence of beings. According to Gilson, the existential judgment of the affirmation-oriented being is the starting point for metaphysics.
