Abstract: The Thomist Ontology between Aristotelism and Neoplatonism. With this article I share a piece of historiographical-philosophical reflection on the question of the oscillation between Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism in Saint Thomas Aquinas: G. Ventimiglia’s synthesis of the path of the controversy on the Aristotelianism or Neoplatonicity of Thomas presents - implicitly - veins of some philosophical and theological thematic issues of the scholastic, neo-scholastic, existentialist and analytical West. My re-presentation of this path aims to push the deployment of the “dangerous” potential of the dualistic historical game in the philosophical and theological context in the Western twentieth century: glimpsing some problematic areas that require overcoming the Hellenic-Roman epistemological duality, and opening current theology to a multicultural and interreligious world vision.
