The underlying dualism in the hylomorphism. a critique of Pedro Laín Entralgo

Abstract

The hylomorphism as aristotelian-thomistic doctrine has been taken over the centuries as an overcoming the Platonic dualism and monism both materialistic character as spiritualist, proposed so far. However, Pedro Laín Entralgo suspected this alleged overcoming: before their knowledge the hylomorphism artistotelian-thomistic is but a somewhat disguised dualism. Anthropo - metaphysics theories Zubiri and Ortega serve you as spoilers for such purposes. The conception of the cosmos as dynamism and the man as his body make say Laín unnecessary a spiritual principle called soul. This, although sound heretical, explains from lainian who assumes the man as a dynamic structure featuring itself anthropological conception traits of an exceptional being: is aware of his being and that in its finitude aspires to eternity because it was created by a maker that is eternal. In this belief deposited their hope and this makes it to be understood as a “futurizo” be, whose projects, waiting, not will fail.
