Amateur Philosophers' Club Fr Richard Stonier and Fr Deneys Williamson

Though we end where we began, we begin now with all we've ended with.

As we conclude the chapter on the metaphysical question of God we look at the two major objections to God's existence as well as St Anselm's Ontological Argument and other arguments for God's existence.

Continuing our consideration of being as such, we move from being to Being as we explore the source and plenitude of all being, and how we can philosophically respond to the question of God, a question which, like its answer, is ever-ancient, ever-new.

Being as existence and essence, substance and accident, act and potency.

What can we say ... of everything that is?

Beyond the quality and quantity of things lies their very being. And their having being is what they have in common with all things that are. But what can we know and say about being? This is the quest of the science of metaphysics.
