metadata.value: The article examines the background and structure of Suárez’s philosophical theology
  as presented “Metaphysical Disputations”. The article begins with a general
  characterization of Suarez’s philosophical theology. It is characterized by the following
  features. First, Suárez understands philosophical theology as the best and most
  excellent part of metaphysics. Second, philosophical theology follows the principles
  and methodology of scholastic Aristotelianism and clearly adheres to this framework.
  Third, Suárez consistently adheres to the demonstrative method of presentation.
  The main part of the paper is an examination of the seventeen divine attributes,
  or perfections, as Suárez calls them. He divides all the attributes into two groups:
  absolute perfections, taken by analogy from the perfections peculiar to any created
  being, and relative perfections, taken from the individual properties of the created
  intellect and will and purified from creatureliness. The perfections of the first type
  are inherent in God formally, the perfections of the second type are inherent in him
  in a superior way, that is, eminently. Then all seventeen attributes delineated by
  Suárez are analyzed: infinity, pure actuality and simplicity of the divine being, etc.
  At the end of the article the whole consideration is summarized, its strong point is
  noted, but also the conclusion is made about the principal insufficiency, from the
  modern point of view, of Suarez’s purely metaphysical approach to the theme of
  natural God-knowledge.
