Autor: Lonergan, Bernard J.F. Buch: Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas Titel: Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas Stichwort: Thomas: intelligere multa per unum: auch bei Prinzipien Kurzinhalt: Psychologische Tatsache: Einsichten bilden höhere Einheiten, Textausschnitt: The psychological fact that insights are not unrelated atoms, that they develop, coalesce, form higher unities, was fully familiar to Aquinas. ...
