This isn’t just a crash course in Thomistic Philosophy, it’s also a treatment of my personal metaphysical approach to sainthood. Hang on tight though the first have, because the second half brings everything together.
I get into Aquinas’ third way of proving God’s existence: the argument from necessary being. But there’s more to this episode than just a crash course in Thomistic philosophy. By explaining Aquinas’ thoughts on cogent and necessary being, I also set up a broader point later on in the episode when I talk about how we possess th potential for sainthood in our very being/existence. Using a tree’s need for sunlight as an example, I clarify these philosophical concepts. I also share a personal story from my childhood about my curiosity (there’s a point to it). The episode wraps up with reflections on personal being and sainthood, highlighting the importance of discovering and embodying one’s true nature.
