Perfección infinita, perfección creada y modo eminente. El panenteísmo tomista de Pedro de Ledesma (s. XVI)

The aim of this article is to present the theory of Pedro de Ledesma on the relation between God’s infinite perfection and the perfections of creatures. Its main thesis states that Ledesma, in an effort to preserve God’s infinity, embraces ideas usually associated with pantheism. Nevertheless, in order to maintain the distinction between God and creatures, he develops a complex conceptual apparatus grounded in Scholastic philosophy, mainly that of Thomas Aquinas’ metaphysics of being, which results in a form of Thomistic panentheism
