CRESTA, Gerald. The transcendentals of being systematization in its historical development. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.4, pp.347-354. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v38i4.31629.

This paper intends to briefly analyze the course of the transcendentals concepts of being in its several historical-philosophical instances of systematization, highlighting the transition from a formal ontology by Aristotle to an existential ontology in the Neoplatonism and the first Scholastic until Tomas Aquinas. It will also emphasize the emergence of a new formal perspective in the Duns Scotus's theory of univocity of being and its followers up to Suarez. This study aims to demonstrate which place transcendentals take in the pursuit of the universal principles of the foundation of knowledge, and seeks to encourage wider projects in which different perspectives would be deeply developed.
