  Article:   TWO NEOPLATONIC SOURCES OF THE MEANING OF ESSE. THE MEDIEVAL DISTINCTION BETWEEN ID QUOD EST AND ESSE.

Authors:  ANDREI BERESCHI. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  A well-known fragment from De Hebdomadibus of A. M. S. T. Boethius is the place of the theoretic distinction between being and that what it is. Boethius was saying in that passage that good is an essential atribgute for all that was created and he supreimposed the difference Creator – creature over the now-so-called ontological difference between esse and id quod est. The aim of our study is to show how both the difference and the superimposition imply a couple of neoplatonic sources and how those hiden sources were decisive for the meaning of being in the mediaeval ontological debates over esse and id quod est.
