Jedność Boga na tle teorii całości i części w „Komentarzu św. Tomasza z Akwinu do «De divinis nominibus» Pseudo-Dionizego Areopagity

Abstract

A theory of the „totality and pan” plays an imponant role in Thomas Aquinas writings. This theory is specially connected with his way of applying logic that creates a high level of generality, characteristic for Aquinas methodology. There are two types of the totality: „totalitas quidditatis”, that has a modem equivalent, sei. abstract set, and „totalitas quantitatis”, with his equivalent: aggregate. The theoretical source for theory of the „totality and part” is a notion of „unity”. A unity is considered as a cause of all beings, and that is why identified with God. As such God’s Unity is a result of negation of every sort of partition, which is characteristic feature of all created being.
