Out of all the arguments for God's existence, there is one that is consistently misunderstood by almost every atheist. The 5 ways of St Thomas Aquinas are complex and mutli-faceted beasts, found in his Summa Theologica. And this is a shame, because in learning about it we gain new insights into Aristotle, Theology, and what work "God" does in a metaphysical system.Uploaded 27-04-24Support me on Patreon here: https://patreon.com/UnsolicitedAdvice701?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkSign up to my email list for more philosophy to improve your life: https://forms.gle/YYfaCaiQw9r6YfkN7Article on Forms: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato-metaphysics/00:00 St Thomas Aquinas02:08 He Likes to Move it Move it06:00 Why?

Philosophy Can Save Your Life | The Consolation of Philosophy
Philosophy is often conceived as a way of making sense of a flawed existence. And perhaps no work is better for this than Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy. He writes this book while awaiting his painful death and imprisonment for standing up for the Roman Senate in the face of corruption, and for that, he has been condemned. His insights can help any of us, whether we are dealing with something as significant as an unjust imprisonment, or simply making our way through the endless tiny sufferings of life itself. This is how philosophy can save your life.Uploaded 02-05-24Support me on Patreon here: https://patreon.com/UnsolicitedAdvice701?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkSign up to my email list for more philosophy to improve your life: https://forms.gle/YYfaCaiQw9r6YfkN700:00 The Consolations of Philosophy01:18 The Problem of Pointless Suffering06:49 The False Idols12:03 The Constraints of Value18:56 What Makes a Meaning?
