St. Thomas Aquinas - 5 Ways To Proof God's Existence | Summa Theologiae

In this video, I explore the 5 arguments that Saint Thomas of Aquinas (1225 - 1274) gives for the existence of God. I highlight the ties with ancient arguments and forms of logic, from the likes such as Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. Through these five “ways,” Aquinas does not appeal to faith or revelation, but to reason itself — showing that through observing motion, causation, contingency, gradation, and finality in nature, one can arrive at the logical necessity of a First Cause, an Unmoved Mover, a Necessary Being, a Supreme Perfection, and an Intelligent Designer. These arguments are not proofs in the empirical or scientific sense, but metaphysical demonstrations — reasoned reflections on being, change, and order in the universe. They bridge ancient Greek and Islamic philosophy with Christian theology, forming one of the most profound syntheses in Western thought.
