Why does Stanislaous Demba have an essence but no existence, and what is the essence of my friend Serena? In what (if it does) does the latter differ from mine? These rough bunch of questions are only rough examples of the different articulations of the relation between different beings and their own essence (let us leave for the moment what an essence is). The tract On being and essence (1252-1256) by Thomas Aquinas will provide us with the main textual material to answer such and many other questions. Connections with other texts by Aquinas will be made, in particular for what concerns the specific case of the human soul and the exceptional being of God.

De ente et essentia: you can read it in Czech in the translation by Stanislav Sousedik, but we will mainly work with the English translation by Armand Maurer

Also useful, for each part of the text is provided with a commentary:

 

St. Thomas Aquinas, On being and essence, translation and interpretation by J. Bobik, University of Notre Dame Press 1965

 

 

We are also going to use:

 

R. Pasnau- C. Shields, The philosophy of Thomas Aquinas, Oxford University Press 2004, in particular (on metaphysics) pp. 62-98; (on God) 140-148; (the human soul) 190-230

 

K. Kutařnová, Člověk jak tělo a duše. STh I, q. 75-75, překlad, úvodní studie a poznámky. Krystal 2017

Always essential, and beautiful to read:

J. W. Wippel, The Metaphysical Thought of Thomas Aquinas, The Catholic University of America, 2000
