Thomas Aquinas Study Circle

"It is because the contemporary alternatives seem so one-sided and are not more evidently solutions to the problems which Thomas faced, and partly solved, that we return to him and to the tradition of theology and philosophy in which his Summa Theologiae appears: theology as the science of the first principle and this as the total knowledge of reality in its unity." -- Wayne J. Hankey, God in Himself (Oxford University Press, 1987), p.159.

Q40: The persons as compared to the relations or properties

  1. Is relation the same as person?
  2. Do the relations distinguish and constitute the persons?
  3. Do mental abstraction of the relations from the persons leave the hypostases distinct?
  4. According to our mode of understanding, do the relations presuppose the acts of the persons, or contrariwise?
