Quaestiones De Reali Distinctione Inter Essentiam Et Esse, (Paperback)

<p>"Quaestiones De Reali Distinctione Inter Essentiam Et Esse" is a rigorous scholarly investigation into one of the most pivotal debates in the history of medieval metaphysics: the real distinction between essence (essentia) and the act of being (esse). This work, authored by the esteemed scholar Franciscus Pelster, provides a deep dive into the ontological foundations of Scholastic philosophy, specifically examining the Thomistic tradition and its critics.</p><p>The text focuses on the metaphysical structure of created beings, exploring how various medieval thinkers reconciled the identity and difference between what a thing is and its existence. Pelster's analysis is noted for its precision and its reliance on primary philosophical texts, offering a clear perspective on the evolution of these complex concepts within the late medieval and early modern periods.</p><p>As a significant contribution to the study of being, this book remains a vital resource for anyone interested in the history of Western philosophy, the development of Catholic theology, and the enduring questions of metaphysics. It highlights the intellectual rigor of the Scholastic period and the foundational ideas that continue to influence philosophical discourse today.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
