THE PHILOSOPHY OF PARTICIPATION
Abstract
The theory of participation in being is the most general theory and can be called the theory of everything. From such a general point of view, more detailed theories can be combined in terms of existence. The basis of this theory is the existential aspect of being. The true distinction between essence and existence changed Plato’s original theory of participation in a completely new, existential way that changes our view of the relationship between God and the world and the relationship between philosophy and the exact sciences. The theory of participation in the existential interpretation of Aquinas was not developed after Thomas, but was interpreted in the 20th century by Louis B. Geiger and Cornelio Fabro. Their approaches to the Thomistic version of the theory of participation differ from each other. Geiger’s approach is more Platonic, and Fabro’s is more in line with existential Thomism. However, the question remains open as to which interpretation is truly “Thomistic”.
