Please join the Department of Philosophy for the Annual Aquinas Lecture on Wednesday, January 15 at 4:00 pm in McCain Hall, room 308. This year's lecture, "(In)Sufficient Reason: Aquinas and Philosophical Theology," will be delivered by Dr. Alex Hall, Professor of Philosophy, Clayton State University. 

 

Thesis
Some contemporary thinkers contend that ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº Aquinas’s cosmological proofs of God’s existence rely on the strong formulation of the principle of sufficient reason and are therefore unsound. I find that Aquinas’s proofs rely on a mild version of the principle that evades these unsoundness objections, provided that one accepts the principle at all.

All are welcome to attend.
