El trasfondo metafísico de las Cinco Vías de Santo Tomás: Una aproximación desde Lawrence Dewan, O.P.

lawrence dewan presents an approach of st. thomas's five ways to god which surpasses in metaphysical fineness and intellectual deepness the numerous excellent presentations about this topic. dewan, in presenting the metaphysical framework which serves as an argumentative foundation of the five ways, demonstrates, once again, to be an expert knower of saint thomas aquinas's work. likewise, the different writings which dewan has dedicated to this subject allow him to use nuclear notions of thomism that master dewan has rethought and, so to speak, refreshed with quite unusual scientific rigor. such notions are, for example: the central role of the substantial form and the vision of esse as a nature.
