The author, after reviewing Aquinas work and the Teachings of the Catholic Church about the cognitive statute of the virtue of Faith, argues, based on Polo's proposals on Anthropology, that is the «personal knowledge», that is, the knowledge at the level of the act of being, and not simply the «rational knowledge» what is elevated by the supernatural virtue of Faith, that God infuses in the «personal kernel» of the human being.

En este trabajo se estudia la versión del intelecto agente en cuatro pensadores poco conocidos del s. XIV: 1) Guillermo de Alnwick (Guillelmus de Alnwick). 2) Gregorio de Rimini (Gregorius Ariminensis). 3) Tomás de Bailly (Thomas de Bailly). 4) Pedro de Ailly (Petrus de Ailly).

En el s. XVII se mantienen dos versiones rivales sobre el intelecto agente que tuvieron su inicio en el s. XIII: el tomismo y el escotismo. En este trabajo se estudia un representante español de cada una de ellas. Francisco Palanco (tomista) y Francisco Alonso Malpartida (escotista). Ambos sostienen la existencia del intelecto agente en el hombre y su papel abstractivo, y ambos niegan que en esta vida podamos conocer de modo natural al margen de la abstracción. Pero el primero (...) defiende la distinción real entre ambos intelectos, mientras que el segundo sólo admite una distinción formal. (shrink)

In this paper we study the agent intellect in the XIV century. This work is divided into 3 different parts: Averroism. Nominalism, eclecticism and reductionism. Potencialism.

La sindéresis, también llamada por Tomás de Aquino razón natural, es cognoscititiva: un hábito innato por medio del cual la persona humana conoce y regula su naturaleza humana, y en especial, su razón y su voluntad, y está abierta a éstas facultades, tanto en su estado nativo como activadas. La sindéresis se conoce por medio de otro hábito innato, la sabiduría, y ambos dependen del intelecto agente.This paper presents Domingo Gundisalvo’s theory of knowledge and the end of our cognitive process (...) at the light “of the active Intelligence” . For human beings participate in this light wen at in effectu or in adeptus ab alio. The research takes into account Gundisalvo’s metaphysics background as exposed in his De processione mundi.

V.E. Frankl’s ideas on suffering, death and human time are examined in this article. All three are interrelated, as they make no sense if not from the standpoint of the close bond of individual human intimacy with a personal God.

This note presents the central points of Polo’s recent book, Nietzsche como pensador de dualidades: the reason of the present influence of the philosophy of the philosopher of Röcken; Polo’s critique of the hermeneutics of suspicion ; and Polo’s revision of the nuclear dualities of Nietzschean philosophy. It also explains the Polian prosecution of his theory of knowledge and his ontology contents in this book.

In this paper we study the relation between innate habits according to Polo’s philosophy. We focus on two relations: a) the relation between the innate habit of first principles and the synderesis; b) the relation between the habit of wisdom and the habit of first principles.

Anthropology differs from ethics according to a hierarchy: a) its topic: anthropology deals with the human act of being, the essence and the human nature, whereas ethics subjects are limited to some dimensions of the human essence , which join the real goods by means of the human action; b) their methods: anthropology's noetical levels are higher and wider than the noetical methods of ethics.

In this work we study the suggestive position of some authors who constitute an exception in the history of the philosophy in respect to the interpretation of the agent intellect, the great Aristotle´s discovery: Francisco Canals, Leonardo Polo and his disciples, because these authors put the agent intellect at the level of “ actus essendi hominis ”.

En este trabajo se estudia si, según Kierkeggard, el conocimiento de la propia intimidad humana es natural o exclusivamente sobrenatural. Se concluye que, aunque tal punto no sea explícito en los textos del pensador danés, ya que admite que la relación del hombre con Dios es en exclusiva sobrenatural, por medio de la fe, y que esta no es cognoscitiva porque acepta que Dios está detrás del absurdo, por consiguiente, según él no cabe antropología filosófica como ciencia. In this paper, (...) we examine whether knowledge of our own human intimacy is natural or exclusively supernatural, as Kierkegaard proposes. We conclude that, even though this idea is not explicit in his writings, he admits that man's relationship with God is exclusively supernatural through faith, and that faith is not cognitive because it accepts that God is behind the absurd; hence, philosophical anthropology is not possible as a science.

En este trabajo se estudia el intelecto agente según Vincentio Quintiano Brixiense (s. XVI). Su descripción es netamente tomista, pues sostiene que existe en el alma, que es una potencia factiva, que está separado de órgano, impasible, ente en acto y realmente distinto del posible. Sus operaciones son abstraer, causar el conocer de los primeros principios y activar al posible, respecto del cual es previo y superior. Ambos son inmortales y eternos, y tras esta vida no conocerán como ahora.

Tras una breve exposición de la filosofía de Scheler, en este trabajo se defiende que su antropología ocupa un lugar central en sus escritos, y se revisan las aporías metodológicas y temáticas de su último libro, las formuladas en El puesto del hombre en el cosmos. After a brief presentation of Scheler's philosophy, we defend herein that his anthropology makes a fundamental part of his writings. We also examine the methodological and thematic aporias in his last book, those set out (...) in The Place of the Man in the Cosmos. (shrink)

This paper reviews te principal points of Okcham’s philosophy: representationism, voluntarism, contingentism, and also the critics that Polo makes to them. The three parts of the study are: theory of knowledge, ethics-psychology, and metaphysics.

Salvador Piá Tarazona’s book, El hombre como ser dual is an important methodical-thematic advance in the research of transcendental anthropology as much as it does not detain its focus on human nature nor its development , but rather on th readicality of personal intimacy and its openness to transcendence.
