The concept of nature in Juan de Santo Tomás (Juan Poinsot, 1589– 1644). Relationship between philosophy and theology

Abstract

A critical appraisal is made of the contribution of Joan Poinsot, better known as Juan de Santo Tomas (1589-1655), as a result of the publication of Nature and Causes by the prominent academic Juan Cruz Cruz. In spite of the fact that it is the edition of a small part of the Philosophia Naturalis, better known as Cursus Philosophicus, by Juan de Santo Tomás, specifically of the "questions" IX to XIII. A semblance of Juan de Santo Tomas and his work is established, trying to center the character in the context of his time and the positions he held and denouncing the interested interpretations that try to make a thought that puts religion before reason as modern , in the old ecclesiastical strategy of passing theology as philosophy and backwards.
