Abstract

Contrary to the claim of some contemporary physicists, according to which there is a certain incompatibility between creation and the eternity of the world (hypothesis assumed, for example, in the theory of multiverses), the present paper analyzes Aquinas and Aviccenna’s concept of creation in order to distinguish it from the concept of motion. To achieve this I do two things: first, I distinguish between these two concepts in order to clarify in which sense all creation is ex nihilio; then, I discuss the compatibility between creation and the eternity of the world, particularly in Saint Thomas Aquinas, who claims that eternity does not necessarily imply the rejection of creation.
阿奎那与阿维森纳论创造即虚无与世界的永恒
与一些当代物理学家的主张相反,根据这种主张,创造和世界的永恒之间存在某种不相容(例如,在多元宇宙理论中假设),本文分析了阿奎那和阿维森纳的创造概念,以便将其与运动概念区分开来。为了达到这个目的,我做了两件事:首先,我区分这两个概念,以便澄清在哪个意义上所有的创造都是无中生有的;然后,我讨论了创造和世界永恒之间的兼容性,特别是圣托马斯·阿奎那,他声称永恒并不一定意味着拒绝创造。
