The Ontological Status of the Body in Aquinas’s Hylomorphism Hylomorphism is central to Thomistic philosophical anthropology. However, little atten tion has been paid to the ontological status of the body in this theoretical framework. This essay aims to show that in Aquinas’s hylomorphic ontology, the body as a constituent part of the compound is above all prime matter as pure potentiality. In view of the contemporary criticisms of prime matter, it examines the fundamental theoretical presuppositions of this controversial concept and offers a defensive reading of Aquinas’s conception of the body as prime matter. It also displays possible difficulties in identifying the body with prime matter and gives a clue indicating the way out. This effort will make it possible to defend the consistency of Aquinas’s conception of the body and to react to the severe criticism of hylomorphism in the philosophy of mind by contemporary philosophers such as Bernard Williams, namely by showing how hylomorphism can be formally consistent without slip ping into the materialism or dualism it bitterly opposes.

On the Doctrina de Connotatis as Discussed in Baroque Scholasticism In Baroque scholasticism the medieval semantic theory of connotation as a property of terms, originally elaborated by Ockham and others, received an ontological application or re-interpretation in the context of the theory of relations. The main proponent of this ontologized “doctrina de connotatis” seems to have been Suárez. Subsequently, this doctrine was severely criticised by the Jesuits Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza and Rodrigo de Arriaga, but also by the “princeps Scotistarum” Bartholomeo Mastri; whereas another Scotist, John Punch, adopted a theory of relations close to this doctrine. The fates of the original semantic theory of connotation, the ontologized “doctrina de connotatis” and the broader context of the relevant discussions (especially the new res–modus ontology established around 1600) document the complexity of the history of scholastic ideas, irreducible to any simple paradigm (like that of the realism–nominalism strife).
在巴洛克经院哲学中,最初由奥卡姆等人阐述的中世纪语义学内涵理论作为术语的属性,在关系理论的背景下得到了本体论的应用或重新解释。这种本体论化的“内涵论”的主要支持者似乎是Suárez。随后,这一学说受到了耶稣会士佩德罗·乌尔塔多·德·门多萨和罗德里戈·德·阿里加的严厉批评,也受到了“Scotistarum校长”巴塞洛梅奥·马斯特里的严厉批评;而另一位苏格兰人约翰·潘趣则采用了一种与此学说接近的关系理论。原始语义内涵理论的命运、本体论化的“内涵论”(doctrina de connotatis)以及相关讨论的更广泛背景(尤其是1600年左右建立的新的非模本体论)记录了学术思想史的复杂性,无法简化为任何简单的范式(如现实主义-唯名论之争)。

The Scholastic Contribution to the Idea of the Unity of Mankind and its Political Expression in the 16th and 17th Centuries in the Context of Previous and Subsequent Developments This paper is concerned with the idea of unity of mankind and the possibilities of its political expression, particularly with respect to the contribution of the Spanish scholastics Francisco de Vitoria and Francisco Suárez, who gave a crucial impetus to the development of the concept of ius gentium. Then it discusses how the issue was developed in the work of Hugo Grotius and how political expression of the unity of mankind was refl ected on in modern scholasticism — in the work of Luigi Taparelli and Jacques Maritain. In the conclusion it briefl y evaluates the diff erences and the potential impact on the social doctrine of the Church and contemporary political thinking in the context of Christian social thought, particularly with regard to the concept of a ‘global political authority’.
