It is here that Polo's historical significance lies insofar as he boldly proposes a methodology that opens the way for a metaphysics of freedom or, better said, a theory of the person that responds to the concerns of modern and contemporary philosophy and which continues and expands the achievements of classical and medieval philosophy (especially Thomas Aquinas’ real distinction between esse and essentia). What Polo proposes is a transcendental anthropology and the methodology that makes this possible is the abandonment of the mental limit.Polo's methodology of the abandonment of the mental limit consists of detecting the mental limit in conditions such that it can be abandoned.view less
