    From Aristotle to Aquinas: Some groundwork for an archaeology of power.Gwenaelle Aubry - 2015 - Tijdschrift Voor Filosofie 77 (4):827-854.
    As part of a more general project which consists in identifying the process by which the modern ontology of power and action came to replace the Aristotelian ontology of in-potency and act, this article questions some fundamental features of Aquinas’ use and reworking of the Aristotelian concepts of dunamis and energeia.
