| Summary: | The intellectual training does not begin with Metaphysics according to Maimonides (The Guide of the Perplexed, I, 34). There are five main reasons for this: I. A difficulty concerning metaphysical arguments. II. The imperfection of human understanding. III. Necessity of long preparatory study. IV. The inadequacy of individual dispositions. V. Some preoccupations in the daily life. St. Thomas follows Maimonides in this question and develops his arguments. According to St. Thomas, God disclosed the metaphysical truth because otherwise people would not arrive easily at metaphysical knowledge. This question has some implications for pedagogy but also for theoretical philosophy: I. There exists a Christian philosophy; II. Philosophical knowledge is really autonomous; III. Metaphysics presupposes Physics (not viceversa) and opens it to supernatural knowledge; IV. The Metaphysics of Being implies a reflexion about the limits of human knowledge. |
