For some, this situation is a challenge to which they try to respond, others—especially the extremely poor—surrender, as they live day by day, trying to make their ends meet. At stake are also the disparities between rich and poor which increase with time, unfortunately to the detriment of the latter. The poorer half of humanity has as much wealth as the eight richest people in the world. At this point one deals with a question of globalization whose purpose is the integration and interdependence of countries, the desire to create “one world,” and so—greater solidarity and mutual support.","PeriodicalId":36983,"journal":{"name":"Studia Gilsoniana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47630971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Imbach, el llamado ‘argumento del intellectus essentiae’ ha formado parte de los recursos de algunos filósofos y teólogos del siglo XIII (como por ejemplo, Egidio Romano y Tomás de Sutton), para establecer la ‘distinción real’ entre la esencia y el ser en toda creatura. A este respecto, aunque Tomás de Aquino no conoció las ardientes discusiones parisinas entre algunos autores de finales del siglo XIII (Egidio Romano, Enrique de Gante, Godofredo de Fontaines) en torno a la ‘distinción real’, sin embargo, sí ha echado mano de este argumento en su obra de juventud, el De ente et essentia, en la que, según entienden algunos críticos, ha intentado demostrar la composición real de esencia y ser en toda creatura.

Michael Waldstein has effectively argued that Wojtyla’s account is not novel; rather, Aquinas develops his account of love and friendship in a similar gift-of-self framework. I believe Waldstein is correct both in his argument and in showing the value of Aquinas’s account of love to debates in philosophical personalism. I wish to contribute to this debate by arguing that to understand adequately Aquinas’s account of love in general and the aspect of the gift of self in particular, we must appreciate the importance of his account of appropriate self-love; moreover, self-love and love as a gift of self constitute two foundational poles on which we should base any development of a theory of love within Thomistic personalism. I will proceed by offering brief overviews of Wojtyla’s concept of love as a gift of self and Waldstein’s comparative study of Wojtyla and Aquinas on this issue.

Currently, applicability is also one of the evaluation criteria of educational processes. What is inapplicable, developing in the domain of theoria is understood as impossible to be employed to satisfy various human needs. Being situated outside the realm of functional applications is regarded as not being valuable. The factor of applicability is strongly emphasized by education, closely connected with the development of the sciences. Its efforts are directed towards attaining skills and competences and the practical nature of acquired knowledge. These types of tendencies refer to rhetoric as well. Emphasizing the applicability of rhetoric consists in developing various methods and techniques of persuasion. This gives rise to a technical approach to rhetoric which is prevalent nowadays. According to it, rhetoric is a domain which is primarily supposed to provide efficient and universal","PeriodicalId":36983,"journal":{"name":"Studia Gilsoniana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69275668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because the richness of this philosophy involves the use of Thomistic metaphysics and metaethics, anthropology, political philosophy, phenomenology and aesthetics and is meant to be applied (as in Pope St. John Paul II’s theology of the body), we discover a unique and fitting tool by which Catholic education may be considered and planned for based on what is most fundamental to the human person’s reality—the act of his existence and subsequent personalistic act, according to truth and love.
