<b>Light, enlightenment and truth in <i>De triplici via</i> of Saint Bonaventure</b> - doi: 10.4025/actascieduc.v34i1.15340
Abstract
The hierarchical perspective on Trinitarian theology, as bonaventure understands it, is decisive for the understanding of its intellectual orientation in metaphysic, because it allows to underline the elements of unity and diversity that are constitutive part of any explanation of the relationship between absolute unity and contingent plurality. Closely linked to the neo-platonic orientation and, because of that, in total dependence on its illuminating nature, is the explanation that Buenaventure develops of the metaphysical-theological as the basis for the spiritual reality of the homo viator. In this paper we analyze, based on the concept of transcendental truth, the deductive instances operating in this dynamism as it is presented in the booklet De triplici via with the intention to indicate the unity present in the three viae, unity that pushes the man in the ascension that go through the anthropological instances of the image, the likeness and finaly deiformity, in the conceptual framework of the doctrine of exemplarism.
