| Title | The Concept of Change in Aquinas's Ontology: An Attempt At A Philosophical Interpretation |
| Summary | The task of this thesis is to provide a philosophical sketch of Thomas Aquinas’s notion of change (motus, mutatio). To do so, I will also provide a philosophical and historical overview of Aquinas’s philosophy of mobile being (ens mobile). In order to do this, I will examine the principles of nature—form, matter, and privation—and the kinds of changes brought by the becoming of substantial and accidental compounds. By highlighting the notion of change, my aim is to show the dynamic teleology of Aquinas’s notion of being (esse). |
