Description
Thomistic Existentialism and Cosmological Reasoning by John F. X. Knasas explores an important facet of classical arguments for the existence of God - cosmological reasoning. This book offers a nuanced understanding of Thomas Aquinas's De Ente et Essentia reasoning, which employs a more subtle approach to a thing's existence than previously thought. The author addresses various criticisms of cosmological reasoning, including those raised by Heidegger, and proposes a revised version of the De Ente framework. This book is of interest to philosophers engaged in discussions on cosmological reasoning and to those interested in understanding Aquinas's arguments for God. It also sheds new light on Thomistic Existentialism, an interpretation of Aquinas that emerged in the 1950s. By examining Aquinas's work through the lens of De Ente et Essentia, this book aims to reawaken interest in this philosophical approach and its relevance to contemporary debates.
