Thomas Aquinas and Maimonides in the «Vision Delectable». On Providence and fate
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article carries out a reading of the Vision Delectable of Alfonso de la Torre with the aim of highlighting the different intellectual planes that are superimposed within the work. Especially prominent among these is the presence of a form of rationality “beyond the limits of the rational,” which is critically analyzed via a comparison with the thought of two fundamental authorities that merit consultation: Maimonides, whose Guide for the Perplexed is a major influence; and St. Thomas Aquinas, whose view of the relation between faith and reason is deliberately ignored or replaced.
