“creation is said to be ‘out of nothing’ [ex nihilo] in two ways. On the one hand, the negation [in the word ‘nothing’] denies the relation implied by the preposition ‘out of’ [ex] to anything pre-existing. Thus, the creature is said to be ‘out of nothing’ because it is ‘not from something pre-existing.’ And this is the first point. On the other hand, the order of creation to a pre-existent nothing remains affirmed by nature, such that creation is said to be ‘out of nothing’ because the created thing naturally has non-being prior to being.”
Aquinas, Writings on the ‘Sentences’ of Peter Lombard, 2.1.1.2, Solution
for answering gobbet questions
The main task is to explain what the author means.
• This requires, first, introducing the longer text from which the passage comes, and giving some background to what the author is trying to achieve, to help explain why this topic is significant. Don’t spend too long on this part of the task, because the next three bullet-points are the focus of this piece of work.
• Try to name (paraphrase) the main question or questions raised in the passage that you will be commenting on.
• Explain how the author answers this question, and why.
• Assess the same question yourself and evaluate the author’s approach, e.g. by naming different possible answers, and discussing their merits. Are there problems which remain; what is the best answer or approach in your view?
• Use the relevant literature from the bibliography to help inform your answer, especially the part where you assess the author’s answer to the question. In 1000 words, however, you will not have a lot of space to mention more than one or two secondary sources: focus on your explanation of the text of the gobbet itself, and what it means.
