Abstract

MOYA, Patricia. The union body-soul in thomas aquinas in dialogue with A. Kenny. discus.filos [online]. 2012, vol.13, n.20, pp.255-270. ISSN 0124-6127.

In this paper, some of the arguments advanced by Thomas Aquinas in the first part of Summa Theologiae are analized. I focus specifically in I, q. 75 a. 4 and q. 76 a. 1, in which Aquinas deals with the union between body and soul. My aim is to contrast the analytical interpretation of A. Kenny in Aquinas on mind, chapters 11 and 12, with Aquinas' arguments based mainly on metaphysical principles. Based on that, I try to respond to Kenny's objections and, at the same time, to clarify Aquinas' doctrine about the unity of the human person.

Keywords : Body-soul; A. Kenny; understanding; form; Thomas Aquinas.
