Cardinalis Caietanus (English spelling) Thomas De Vio

Italian theologian and philosopher famous as a commentator on Thomas Aquinas. Dominican and cardinal. In 1518, he debated with Luther on the papacy and justification by faith, and opposed the Reformation. His major works include a commentary on Thomas's Summa Theologica (included in the Leo edition of the Collected Works of Thomas Aquinas ) and a commentary on De Ente et Essentia (On Being and Essence). In De Nominum Analogia (On the Analogy of Names), he rejected attributional analogy as an external nomenclature and accepted proportional analogy, which is close to ambiguity, as the only true analogy, which was supported by many Neo-Thomists, but does not fit Thomas' later works. Through his debates with Scotists and Averroists, his works contain terminology and problems that were not found in the 13th century, the height of the Middle Ages, but he does not place as much trust in rational knowledge as Thomas does in issues such as the immortality of the soul and God's providence.

トマス・アクィナスの注釈家として著名なイタリアの神学者、哲学者。ドミニコ会士、枢機卿(すうききょう)。1518年教皇権と信仰義認についてルターと論争し、宗教改革に反対した。主要著作にトマスの『神学大全』の注解（『トマス・アクィナス全集』〈レオ版〉Opera Omnia Thomae Aquinatis, editoris Leoninaeに収載）と、『存在と本質について』De Ente et Essentiaの注解がある。『名の類比について』De Nominum Analogiaにおいて彼は、帰属類比を外的命名として退け、多義性に近い比例的類比を唯一真正な類比として承認し、多くの新トマス主義者に支持されたが、トマスの後期著作には適合していない。スコトゥス主義者とアベロエス主義者との論争を通じて、彼の著作には、中世最盛期の13世紀にみられなかった用語と問題がみいだされるが、魂の不滅性、神の摂理などの問題において、理性的認識はトマスほどには信頼されていない。
