摘要
托马斯·阿奎那从其"恩典不会摧毁自然"的立场出发,并不反对运用理性来探讨"个人灵魂不朽"的可能性,但又把理性的作用严格限制在论证和解释信仰的范围之内。通过对这一教义的理性分析和创造性发挥,他不仅把亚里士多德关于存在与本质、形式与质料、现实与潜在的关系的学说引入了基督教的灵魂研究,而且把新的含义赋予了教父们归属给灵魂的"非物质性"和"实体性"等本质特征。
Thomas Aquinas is not against the rational inquiring into the possibility of the incorruptibility of individual soul, since the basic opinion that Grace never destructs Nature is his starting point. However, he always kept ration in the scope of proving and explaining beliefs. Through the rational analysis and creative elaboration of this doctrine, he not only introduced Aristotle's theory of being and nature, form and matter, reality and potentiality into Christian study of soul, but also gave some new meanings to the concept of immaterial and substantiality, which were described as the natural features of soul by those church fathers.
