Několik poznámek k filosofickým důkazům existence separovaných substancí u Tomáše Akvinského

Efrem Jindráček

The author finds a philosophical justification for existence of separate substances in Tomas' work a shift: in the early writings of Thomas ex ordine rerum proves that separated substance exist, based on their symptoms or effects that can not be explained by substituting any other agent. Later comes the argument ex Perfection universi: evident historical existence of the universe compels us to accept a certain order of perfection and completeness of the application of God's power, which implies more than the mere possibility of separate substances. In the past Tomas's writings, however, appears completely new, purely empirical argument, counting with secure recognition of the effects of intelligent immaterial substances. This argument is called Jindráček argument demonological.
