Is there any mention of the fact of existence in Aquinas’s work, or did I just read that into his writings? Here I reply to a tweet about my video “A Flaw in Aquinas’s Case for the Essence-Existence Distinction,” which you can watch here: youtu.be/G-uFfukss1E?si=NwpiNdqo7C23TFEN

When I present Aquinas’s intellectus essentiae argument, I’m reading Klima’s translation of the De Ente, recommended to me by an old Thomist friend: https://faculty.fordham.edu/klima/blackwell-proofs/MP_C30.pdf#page=14
