Theologians in Conversation: The 'Five Ways' of St Thomas Aquinas
Рет қаралды 11,863
12 жыл бұрынThomas Aquinas (1225-74) is famous as the author of five 'proofs for the existence of God' (the 'quinque viae'). But these are not 'knock down' arguments such as one finds in maths or in a law court -- rather ways of coming to realise how different divine existence is from created existence. They are part of Thomas's search for an answer to the question: what is God?

I don't understand why there wasn't mentioned The Summa contra Gentiles where, supposedly, Thomas gave a more subtle argument of the 5 ways ;) After all, he calls hes Summa Theologiae the beginners' book. Just brooding....

I like Karen's perspective. The guy's explanation seems a little too nuanced for such a simple question. It also argues that Aquinas was somewhat vague, that he could've explained his intention more clearly, and I think that's a hard sell. But Karen says his intention is evident by the context.

+Arturo Guevara Hi there. We've check the video and it does have sound, it's just mono playing in the left earphone. We've since made future videos stereo.
