La omnipotencia del Absoluto en Suárez: la necesidad de una perfección infinita / God’s Omnipotence in Suárez. The Need of Absolute Perfection

Abstract

In this paper I study the attribute of God ́s omnipotence in Francisco Suárez. The need, perfection and infinity of the divine essence qualify this attribute crucially; potence belongs to God himself, who –as an infinite being- contains all possible perfection. God contains all by its nature, because He contains every possibility, which is infinite. Thus, undestanding Himself, God understands everything, because He contains all in its essence.
