The locutionary character of the intellect according to Joan Poinsot In I STh, q. 27, D. 32, a. 4 et 5

Abstract:

The ontology of knowledge a faithful expression of the thought of Aquinas remained present as a philosophically perennial truth in the work of Joan Poinsot. Knowledge is conceived by the portuguese commentator, as a vital emanation of an interior verb as an understood term in which everything that is undertood is undetood. This verb arises from the intimacy of the knower in act ex abundantia as act of act and in way as an expression of a weakness or indigence of the knower.

Key words:

Joan Poinsot, Canals Vidal, interior verb, intelligible specie, knowledge.
