This article analyses Aquinas's conception of divine impeccability, and replies to some contemporary objections to this view. The first three sections show that for Aquinas the proposition that expresses God's impeccability is necessary de re , since God's moral goodness is grounded in His ontological goodness. The fourth section presents the conne...
The problem of the efficacy and distribution of God’s grace was one of the main theological issues with which Leibniz dealt throughout his works. In this respect, regardless of any consideration about Leibniz’s actual and sincere commitment to the theological doctrines of his time, it seems undeniable that he spared no effort in his attempt to solv...

In this interview Prof. Eleonore Stump speaks about the causes of the emergence of Analytic Philosophical Theology within the analytic tradition; the advantages of maintaining the traditional picture of perfect being theology with regards to divine attributes; her conception about the importance of biblical narratives in facing the problem of suffe...

La finalidad de este articulo es elucidar el sentido de la doctrina leibniziana de la exigencia de existencia y el combate de los posibles, situandola dentro del conjunto de la metafisica de Leibniz y mostrando su absoluta compatibilidad con la afirmacion de la creacion libre y voluntaria por parte de Dios. Se intentara explicar que elementos de la...
The aim of this paper is to make a first approach to the late Scholastic debate concerning the love of God towards possible creatures. I start with a brief exposition of the historical background of the debate and the main positions of authors of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, such as Cajetan, Báñez and Suárez. I deal in detail with the e...
This article aims to demonstrate that Thomas Aquinas's metaphysics of being, in which evil is considered a privation or lack of perfection introduced only by the creature against God's intention, is a remarkable starting point for solving the main problems involved in the modern and contemporary debate on the problem of evil. It also seeks to prove...
This paper analyzes Leibniz’s concept of “creation out of nothing” from a double perspective. On the one hand, I present the essentialist model of creation, which is understood as a transition of essences from the realm of mere possibilities to the realm of existence. I also explain the difficulties that this approach entail by devaluating divine c...
The present article analyzes Leibniz’s foundation of free will, understood as a potency of self-determination, examining it from its essential features: spontaneity, deliberation and contingency. Since the will is determined by the series of perceptions which flow from the nature of the substance, its domain over its own acts is indirect and diachr...

En este artículo se busca establecer un contrapunto entre la doctrina de Tomás de Aquino acerca del problema del mal y las más habituales respuestas modernas y contemporáneas a esta cuestión: la “teodicea”, o justificación racional de la conducta de Dios y la “defensa del libre albedrío”. Adicionalmente, se propone la caracterización metafísica del...
This article seeks to establish a counterpoint between Thomas Aquinas' position on the problem of evil and the most common modern and contemporary responses: the argument of "theodicy" or rationale for the conduct of Cod, and the "free will defence". The metaphysical characterization of evil as privation, as understood by Thomas Aquinas, is propose...
