" Due to space limitations, only now made ​​the three sections. Stanford, "Thomas Aquinas in the in the" presence "of some of the analysis"; Wu, "Thomas Aquinas's personality theory." We can see from the above title, the author cited in my article in the original code data, mainly taken from "metaphysics of Aristotle notes," a book, it is noted. This paper is intended to make a more comprehensive exploration and introduction of the important concept of existence in Aquinas's philosophy and segmented into five parts: first, a generalization of "existence"; second, a glimpse of the historical background precedent to Aquinas's time, including Greek philosophy and medieval philosophy; third, the meaning and importance of existence; fourth, Aquinas's analysis of existence in his Commentaries on Aristotle; and fifth, Aquinas's theory of personality.
