Guerbet, Marine creator author text 2026. monographic fre This study looks at a tension apparent in Thomistic anthropology: if the soul constitutes a person’s unique substantial form, why does Thomas Aquinas insist on the necessity of recovering the same corporal matter at the resurrection? Chronological analysis of the texts (1256-1265) refutes the evolutionist theses and shows Thomas as constant in his doctrine. Requiring material continuity does not compromise the coherence of an anthropology that maintains a strict articulation between revealed content and hylomorphism, and between the transcendence of revealed mystery and philosophical rigour, thus avoiding rationalism as well as concordism. This study clarifies a controversial point in medieval anthropology and holds a place in contemporary debates on individuation, substantial form and the unity of the person. 92 Revue des sciences philosophiques et théologiques | 109 | 4 | 2026-01-12 | p. 685-717 | 0035-2209 https://shs.cairn.info/journal-revue-des-sciences-philosophiques-et-theologiques-2025-4-page-685?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 https://shs.cairn.info/journal-revue-des-sciences-philosophiques-et-theologiques-2025-4-page-685?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 20260222002106.0
