Maxime Allard, o.p., “Thinking, saying, naming ‘God’: interpreting the conclusions of the 5 ways of Aquinas”
Aquinas’ five ways have given rise to thousands of articles and books over the years. Their metaphysics has served as a useful guide for many and as a foil to be avoided for many others! This conference will not engage with this aspect of the ways. I will be focusing on Aquinas’ finale to each of these ways and attempt to show their underestimated importance still today.
