<br/><br/> Durandus of St. Pourcain is known to have distanced himself from the fundamental theses of Thomism. The attentive study of his position, in comparison with the period’s Thomist Dominicans’ interpretations of Thomas Aquinas, leads to a more nuanced appreciation. Durandus’ opinion, according to which Christ would possess a plurality of esse according to the duality of his nature, is not fundamentally different from the position of his fellow Dominican and fierce adversary, Hervaeus Natalis. Durandus’ position is attacked not because he separated himself from classical Thomism, but because he placed on the docket once again Aristotelian metaphyisics, the criterion of any “legitimate” interpretation of Thomas.
