Abstract

This article seeks to show how the doctrine of beauty of Saint Albert the Great and Saint Thomas Aquinas carries valuable elements to consider the constitution of a society, which, as a union of diverse people, contains an anthropological problem, as well as a metaphysical problem, regarding the relationship between unity and multiplicity. The aforementioned doctrine of beauty addresses this relationship, and also contains valuable contributions to a better understanding of the very nature of society.
