Abstract
I describe a “logic of creating” inspired by the “existential” argument of the existence of God in St. Thomas Aquinas’s De Ente et Essentia. suggest a modal reading of his reasoning based upon states-of-affairs said to be actual, contingent, necessary and the like. I take “creating” as teasing actuality out of possibility. After explaining the modal logic that I am assuming and relating it to Christian understandings of meaning and being, I present my modal interpretation, contrasting it with the views of three modern philosophers. In an appendix I will analyze the text of St. Thomas’s existential proof.
我描述了一种“创造的逻辑”，灵感来自圣托马斯·阿奎那(St. Thomas Aquinas)的《论存在与本质》(De Ente et Essentia)中关于上帝存在的“存在主义”论证。根据实际的、偶然的、必要的等等情况，对他的推理进行模态解读。我把“创造”理解为从可能性中梳理现实。在解释了我所假设的模态逻辑，并将其与基督教对意义和存在的理解联系起来之后，我提出了我的模态解释，并将其与三位现代哲学家的观点进行了对比。在附录中，我将分析圣托马斯存在证明的文本。
期刊介绍：
Studia Neoaristotelica is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal devoted to the promotion of Aristotelian philosophy broadly conceived, drawing on the rich legacy of the scholastic tradition and contemporary analytical metaphysics. Special emphasis is placed on the most advanced forms of scholastic thought that emerged during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Our vision is to work toward a philosophical synthesis of analytic and scholastic methods and ideas, providing a contribution to Christian philosophy as well as wider secular thought. The journal is published by Editiones Scholasticae and the University of South Bohemia Faculty of Theology.
