In this paper, I examine the debate about existence between deflationist analytic accounts and the ‘thicker’ conception used by Aquinas when speaking of esse. I argue that the way one evaluates the debate will depend on background philosophical assumptions and that reflection on those assumptions could constitute an account of theoretical wisdom.

W niniejszym artykule analizuję dyskusję dotyczącą istnienia, która toczy się między deflacyjnym podejściem oraz „gęstszą” koncepcją używaną przez Akwinatę, kiedy mówi o esse. Twierdzę, że sposób, w jaki wartościuje się debatę, będzie zależał od założeń filozoficznych i że refleksja nad tymi założeniami mogłaby stanowić opis mądrości teoretycznej.
