L’articolo indaga l’originale dottrina delle relazioni di Francesco d’Appignano, focalizzandosi in particolare sulla dipendenza della creatura da Dio. Per il teologo marchigiano l’esse ad aliud è un modo di essere della cosa che possiede anche un certo grado di realtà in quanto non deriva dalla considerazione dell’intelletto. Questo statuto si mantiene anche nel caso della relazione della creatura a Dio. Francesco, infatti, distingue due tipologie di dipendenza: positiva e negativa. La prima si aggiunge all’essenza creaturale dopo la sua costituzione ed è quindi separata da essa. La seconda invece è l’esigenza del Creatore da parte di tutto ciò che è creato ed è necessaria alla creatura.
The article investigates the original doctrine of relations of Francis of Appignano, focusing on dependence of every creature on God. For Francis, the relation is a thing’s mode of being, also having a reality because it is mind independent. This statute is also maintained in the case of the creature's relation to God. Francis, in fact, distinguishes two types of dependence: positive and negative. The first is added to the creature essence after its constitution and is therefore separated from it. The second, on the other hand, is the Creator's need, common to all creatures, and it is necessary for them.
