Sažetak
In the article the Author explains the basic metaphysical
thoughts of Thomas of Aquino, respecting the modern Tomist's
solvings, that have left sediment of the ali controversies during the
time. Special importance is being given to the metaphysical structure
of the creature the analysis of which shows how they are put together
- the material ones from substance (materia) and form {forma) and
the spiritual ones from essence {essentia) and Being {esse) - and
inwardly these have not had the sufficient reason to be their own
being, since they are not the being but have the being. As they do
exist, they have to get their being from the one who is his own being,
from God himself. In that way, Thoma brought into radical
dependence ali the existing about God, who not only gives his being to ali that exist, but keeps ali in existence by letting ali that exist to
participate in his own being. Uniting Aristotel's Pure Act and Platon's
idea of participation with Christian teaching about creatio ex nihilo,
he created his own original teaching, representing himself as a
tireless searcher of the truth.
