Thomistic Metaphysics

Thomistic Metaphysics, rooted in the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas, explores the fundamental nature of reality, including existence, essence, and the relationship between God and the world. It distinguishes between what something is (essence) and that something is (existence). Aquinas argued for the existence of God as a necessary being, and he emphasized that all creation reflects divine order. This metaphysical framework provides insights into knowledge, ethics, and the nature of being, asserting that understanding reality ultimately leads us to a deeper understanding of God and our place in the universe.
