VELARDE. L., Catalina. The transcendentals as a cognitive key of the Creator through the creature, and as a condition of possibility of the structure of the universe. Franciscanum [online]. 2023, vol.65, n.180, pp.7-7.  Epub 12-Feb-2024. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.6031.

In this article, we want to show truth and beauty as good, as they are characteristics that are identified with being, that is, transcendental; reveal some characteristics of the perfect being in imperfect entities. This is possible from the thought of Thomas Aquinas, because God, who is the one who creates, in doing so transmits something of his own being to his work; just as the artist is reflected in some respect in his work. In the case of God, this reflection is called vestige, and has an analog character. However, it allows a rational incarnated creature to discover it through the contemplation of the universe, which transforms creation into a hierophanic phenomenon.

Palabras clave : good; truth; beauty; manifestation; analogy.
