Abstract

espanolResumen La mayoria de los comentarios y estudios tradicionales sobre Tomas de Aquino, como los que han predominado en la escolastica y la neoescolastica, se han caracte rizado por el intelectualismo de su pensamiento basado principalmente, aunque no exclusivamente, en la primacia ontologica del intelecto sobre la voluntad; en la afir macion de la ignorancia como una de las causas primordiales del mal actuar, y en la existencia de una facultad como la voluntad que tiende a seguir el juicio de la razon. En los ultimos cincuenta anos, sin embargo, esta interpretacion ha sido revisada cri ticamente poniendo a la luz de los textos el valor de la voluntad en la antropologia y la etica de Tomas de Aquino. Sin tratar de negar la presencia de elementos intelec- tualistas en su obra, el objetivo de este trabajo es reflexionar en torno a la existencia de cierto voluntarismo psicologico de santo Tomas con base en el papel que ejerce la voluntad en la realizacion del mal moral. EnglishAbstract Most of the studies and commentaries on Thomas Aquinas such as those made from the scholastic and neo-scholastic perspective have emphasized the intelectualism of his thought. This intelectualism is based mainly but non exclusively on the ontologicalprimacy of the intellect over the will, on the affirmation that the ignorance is one of the pivotal causes of evil actions, and on the fact that the will tends to follow the judgment of reason. Over the last fifty years, however, this reading has been the object of a critical revision by bringing to light in the texts the value of the will in Ethics and Philosophical Anthropology of Thomas Aquinas. Without the least intention of questioning the presence of intelectualist elements in his works, the aim of this paper is to reflect on some kind of psychological voluntarism in Thomas Aquinas, grounded on the role of the will in realiging the moral evil.
