| Sumario: | Amidst the disputes of the 13th century, St. Thomas
Aquinas says in the Commentarium in Sententiis, first philosophical
and theological composition that “the creation not only is reached
through faith but by rational demonstration”. This idea not abandons
her in no time and keeps it in his work. It is our purpose in the present
work establishing the relationship between the strategy argumentative
into the problem of creation and that another linked to the temporal
beginning of the world, noting the two-way used argumentative, one
argumentative and rational justification and the other that expresses
the inability to rationally justify the topic. The argumentative strategy
to understand lets you differentiate the double order of explanation
lies distinction between essential and accidentally causes: A cause
is essentially ordered to cause B, if B action is needed for A action
has taken place. So to achieve the effect, it is necessary to admit a
first cause, and between two terms the distance or the number of essentially
ordered causes to the first cause must necessarily be finite.
Different is the case concerning the order of temporality registered
within the accidental causality: an eternal world or not, is something
that cannot be justified rationally as soon as it is an accidental effect
from a cause which work with absolute freedom. We understand
that this distinction is the conceptual tool with which Aquinas defines
what can be justified with certainty, such is the case of arguments offered
in creation; what is only likely way, in particular the arguments
based on the physical doctrines Aristotelian; and finally, what man
only can know through revelation, as it is the case of knowledge of the
temporal origin of the world. |
