All this suggests that a Trinitarian ontology will naturally tend to revise Aristotle. Perhaps even more than Aquinas did, though he did revise Aristotelian metaphysics both neoplatonically and for doctrinal reasons. (As neo-Thomism ignores.)

For Plato and Plotinus there are five genres of being, rest, motion, same and other that are really more like transcendentals. In fully real intelligible reality they fully coincide. In material reality they more tend to exclude each other and come in degrees.

Plotinus also questions Aristotle’s distinction of action and making. For him even action as thought moves, goes out from itself, emanates. Augustine and Aquinas’s thought on verbum is jn this lineage. (Lonergan totally wrong here.)
