Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of metaphorical possible and its
developments in the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas. Firstly, I show the main aspects of
what means “to be possible” in Aquinas’ philosophical system, by considering the
thomasic opera as a whole. Secondly, I locate the metaphorical possible in the divisions
of being possible, by analyzing the elements given by the philosopher in order to define
the concept. In the paper, specially at the end, I suggest some questions to be developed
by colleagues and other scholars, based on the discussion started.
