First critical edition of Petrus Thomae’s theory of non-causal dependence. This work of Scotist metaphysics is an investigation into the ultimate constitution of things. In the course of this treatise, Petrus Thomae examines whether the essences of things ultimately depend on being thought of by God for their very intelligibility or whether they have it of themselves. Defending in detail the second option, Peter argues that creatures exist independently of the divine intellect in the divine essence. They enjoy real, eternal being in the divine essence and objective being in the divine mind. Aware that these views conflicted with his belief in the Christian doctrine of creation, Peter laboured to alleviate the conflict with a theory of non-causal dependence, according to which even if God did not cause creatures to be in the divine essence, nevertheless they are necessary correlatives of the divine essence.

One of the earliest Scotist treatises on natural philosophy.Duns Scotus left neither a commentary on the Physics nor a systematic treatise on natural philosophy, a lacuna his followers soon sought to address. Among the first attempts to explicate a Scotist natural philosophy is the Quaestiones de formis by Petrus Thomae. Like other works in this series on Peter’s work, the De formis is dedicated to a single philosophical topic. Following an introductory question about the metaphysical aspect of form, the focus shifts to form as it functions in the process of change. Interestingly, Peter displays little interest in the classic Franciscan theories of plurality of forms, seminal reasons, or the reality of matter, providing instead detailed investigations into indeterminate dimensions and the introduction and education of forms into matter. Distinct within Petrus Thomae’s corpus is the treatise’s detailed engagement with Dominican natural philosophy, drawing not only on Thomas Aquinas but also on Hervaeus Natalis and John Quidort.
