New Article Published by Fr. Mariusz Tabaczek, O.P. ~ Aristotelian-Thomistic Contribution to the Contemporary Studies on Biological Life and Its Origin

Father Mariusz Tabaczek, O.P. has published a new article in the special issue of the journal Religions. It can be found HERE or on his profile on Academia.edu. Here is the abstract of the article: The phenomenon of life belongs to the most intriguing and puzzling aspects of reality, studied in various divisions of natural science, as well as in philosophy and theology. The purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, it aims at bringing into the rich contemporary conversation on the nature, origin, and persistence of life a deeper and more thorough insight coming from the classical Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophy of nature and metaphysics. Secondly, in reference to the theological aspects of the debate, the article presents the two contrasting positions on the necessity of a direct divine intervention in the origin of life and analyzes them from the same Aristotelian-Thomistic perspective.
