| Sumario: | As studies around the thought and writings of this English Dominican who lived towards the end of the 13th century multiply, the conviction –already proposed by E. Gilson in his book L'être et l'essence– that he points out in Thomas of Sutton one of the rare disciples of Aquinas (perhaps the first) grows. The Englishman would have been able to see what we present here as “the authentic face of Thomistic metaphysics”: his interpretation of Thomas Aquinas’ thought was such that, instead of privileging the essence in the analysis of the structure of the real –as most of the exponents of the Thomistic doctrine did, in an attitude that, we believe, is due to the influence of Egidio Romano's ‘Theoremata de esse et essentia’–, he prioritized the esse, in such a way that one could speak of an existential metaphysics in Thomas Aquinas. Thus, we briefly expose some aspects and consequences of each of these interpretations of the thought of the Angelic Doctor, and we analyze the texts of Thomas of Sutton that could be interpreted in this way. In closing, in spite of some nuances that differ in the presentation, we reach a final agreement with Gilson's thesis. |
