Thomas Aquinas, Gremlins, and the Second Way (Video Essay)
Показать описание
Thomas Aquinas was a medieval philosopher and theologian who is known for his "Five Ways" we can know there is a God. His second way is causation.
The 1984 movie "Gremlins" by Steven Spielberg illustrates Aquinas' argument for effienct cause.
==============================
Aquinas' Second Way: Efficient Cause
==============================
"Demonstration can be made in two ways: One is through the cause, and is called "a priori," and this is to argue from what is prior absolutely. The other is through the effect, and is called a demonstration "a posteriori"; this is to argue from what is prior relatively only to us. When an effect is better known to us than its cause, from the effect we proceed to the knowledge of the cause. And from every effect the existence of its proper cause can be demonstrated, so long as its effects are better known to us; because since every effect depends upon its cause, if the effect exists, the cause must pre-exist. Hence the existence of God, in so far as it is not self-evident to us, can be demonstrated from those of His effects which are known to us. . . . From effects not proportionate to the cause no perfect knowledge of that cause can be obtained. Yet from every effect the existence of the cause can be clearly demonstrated, and so we can demonstrate the existence of God from His effects; though from them we cannot perfectly know God as He is in His essence."
