Sažetak
The article analyses Aquinas’s derivation of the transcendental notions in the first article of the first question of The Disputed Questions on the Truth. After showing the way for adding to ens, there is a detailed analysis of the notions res, unum, aliquid, verum and bonum. The analysis of the notion of thing has shown the special position of ens as a transcendental, namely as a primary, “transcendentalizing” transcendental (Cornelio Fabro). In the context of verum and bonum, it is pointed to the difference between the true and the good as the transcendental notions and the true and the good in a cognitive and ethical sense. In the end, the three features of transcendentals in Aquinas concerning reality (they are convertible, identical and coextensive with ens) were singled out, as well as the three features concerning their meaning (they include the ens, they differ from ens and each other, and the order among them).
