          Abstract

          Clarence Finlayson fue un pensador americano, nacido en Valparaíso y que enseñó en Medellín, Indiana, Ciudad de México y otras ciudades de América. El presente texto pretende dar cuenta de los fundamentos metafísicos de su antropología, arraigados en la corriente escolástica, pero con evidentes influencias del pensamiento contemporáneo. La concepción metafísica de Clarence Finlayson constituye una recomprensión de los principios aristotélico-tomistas pensados a partir de una articulación entre ser y nada, como polos fundamentales de todo devenir, característico de los seres compuestos. Asimismo, dado que, según Finlayson, la filosofía se funda en una intuición metafísica, como esta intuición se realiza en el reconocimiento experiencial del fenómeno de la muerte en contraste con el anhelo de ser absolutamente, la filosofía es la disciplina esencial del hombre, paradójicamente, en un sentido existencial.

          Translated abstract

          Clarence Finlayson, born in Valparaiso, was a Latin American thinker that taught in Medellín, Indiana, Mexico City and other cities of Latin America. This article aims at explaining the metaphysical foundations of his anthropology which, though rooted in the scholastic school of thought, are evidently influenced by the contemporaneous thought. Clarence Finlayson´s metaphysical conception is to re-understand the Aristotelic-Thomistic principles, thought from an articulation between being and nothing, as the basic poles of every becoming, which is distinctive to all compounded beings. Likewise, according to Finlayson, given that philosophy is grounded on a metaphysical intuition, since this intuition takes place in the experiential realization of the phenomenon of death in contrast with the desire of being absolutely, philosophy is, paradoxically, the essential discipline of mankind in an existential sense.
