  • Summary

    According to Suárez, unlike the properties that an Aristotelian science standardly demonstrates of its subject, being’s passions or properties – transcendental unity, truth and goodness – are distinguished only rationally from their subject. Despite the real identity of being and its properties, the conception of a being as one, true or good involves a conceptual addition, according to Suárez: one formally signifies, over and above being itself, a negation of internal division, while true and good formally signify, over and above being itself, aptitudinal extrinsic denominations from intellect and appetite. The paper explains how each of the latter denominations, according to Suárez, serves to explain, point to, or make clear something about being itself, namely, its aptitude to be an object of intellect or appetite.
