Abstrakt
W szerokiej problematyce, którą podejmował w swych dziełach św. Tomasz z Akwinu odnaleźć można także odniesienia do muzyki, chociaż zagadnienie to nie zostało przez niego opracowane w sposób całościowy. Tomaszową koncepcję muzyki należy rozpatrywać w kontekście jego myśli teologicznej i estetycznej. Dlatego konieczne jest ukazanie najpierw koncepcji piękna, które Akwinata pojmuje jako drogę do spotkania z Bogiem. Na tle jego teorii estetyki, muzyka jawi się jako element cnoty religijności, który realizuje się w liturgii. Wyrazem tego są skomponowane przez św. Tomasza hymny ku czci Najświętszego Sakramentu, które do dnia dzisiejszego obecne są w praktyce liturgicznej Kościoła.
St. Thomas Aquinas integrated into Christian thought the rigours of Aristotle’s philosophy. His aesthetics, although connected with his theology and ethics, has not always received sufficient attention. Certain passages of his Summa Theologiae are devoted to beauty. Aquinas defines beauty in Aristotelian terms as that which pleases solely in the contemplation of it and recognizes three prerequisites of beauty: perfection, appropriate proportion and clarity. His basic ideas, drawn from the classical world, are modified in the light of Christian theology and developments in metaphysics and optics during 13th century. Music is touched upon in his writings. He looks at the concrete applications of the conception of transcendental beauty in his theory of music. Author considers Thomas’s idea of music in the following ways: beauty as a way of meeting God; church music as a religious virtue; liturgical music; St. Thomas as a “cantor of the Eucharistic Christ”. Thomas considers objective value and goodness of music, addressing its physical nature and metaphysical properties, such as in the hymns of the office of Corpus Christi attributed to Thomas’s faith and theological wisdom.
