Sorry to post on this art...<br /><br />Dear Michael Sullivan,<br /> Sorry to post on this article, but I don't know how else to contact you. <br /><br /> Lee said you have read the Newman-Scotus Reader rather carefully. Is this volume worth $40, if I can find $40? Discussion suggests it is a useful contribution to Scotist-Thomist dialogue, and this is very important to me. <br /><br />Best,<br />Jim GivenJim Givenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794543348356619041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-60831785540259213442015-02-26T15:36:59.381-05:002015-02-26T15:36:59.381-05:00Peace,
How do you respond to the following object...Peace,<br /><br />How do you respond to the following objection:<br /><br />God is said to be Wisdom inasmuch as Wise is said of the individual God eminently and absolutely, and similarly for Love. <br />Wisdom is said to be Love inasmuch as they are said of one and the same individual eminently and absolutely, but they are said to be different inasmuch as they are said of that individual in different respects; Wisdom with respect to the Divine Intellect and Love with respect to the Divine Will.<br />Thus, their equivalence is only in their denotation of one and the same individual eminently and absolutely.<br />But the same cannot be said of the Three Persons of the Trinity, which are not so equivalent. <br />Therefore, the identity of the Divine Attributes with the Divine Essence does not illuminate the Trinity, and so we remain in the dark as before this illustration, which rightfully should not be considered as a parallel either.<br /><br />RegardsMhttp://www.mantiqiyyat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
