In this essay I will shortly present the main characteristics of Joseph M. Bocheński’s OP translation of Thomas Aquinas’s treatise De ente et essentia. First of all, I will present the circumstances of the translation. Aquinas’s. De ente et essentia was published in the fall in 1955 in the journal “Seminary Materials for the Use of Students of Christian Philosophy”. It was a student magazine created for the internal use of students of philosophy at the Catholic University of Lublin, who thus provided themselves with access to philosophical texts needed for individual classes at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Catholic University of Lublin. However, the reader should be warned that the presented edition is incomplete: of the 81 paragraphs of Aquinas’s work, which Bocheński an-nounces in his introduction, the typescript contains only the first 41. It should be also emphasized that Bocheński perceives De ente et essentia as a ontological work. The interpretation of this treatise can be seen in its entirety, as well as in numerous footnotes that place De ente et essentia within ontology, semantics and logic. Finally, I will emphasize the influence of the Lviv-Warsaw school on Neotomism in general, and on the way of studying philosophy by Bo-cheński in particular. Bocheński’s contacts with representatives of the Lviv-Warsaw school date back to the 1920s: during this period, Jan Salamucha studied theology in Warsaw. During his studies, he met Jan Lukasiewicz, who later became the promoter of his doctoral dissertation on the concept of Aristotle’s modality (he obtained the title in 1927). Then, in 1930, Salamucha wrote an extensive work on the issue of deduction in Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. At first, Bocheński was a critical reviewer of this work, but soon he decided that logic should serve the Thomism. The presence of analytical philosophy, logic and semantics are noticeable in the entirety of Bocheński’s translation.

The so-called ‘intellectus essentiae argument’ has constituted one of the resources of some 13th century authors, to establish the ‘real distinction’ between essence and being in every creature. This argument is also present in Aquinas’ De Ente et Essentia, a work in which, the philosopher is believed to have tried to demonstrate the ‘real distinction or composition’ as well. Now, it is precisely the meaning and scope of this argument regarding the demonstration of the ‘real distinction’ in Thomas’ argumentation that has been object of recent debate among specialists. In this sense, we intend in this article to first expose the argument in the context of the work to which it belongs, then concentrate on the opinions of the different commentators, and finally outline our conclusions based on the interpretations we consider the most accurate.
