Philosophy, Universals & Divine Conceptualism: Feser, Aristotle & Augustine (Half)


Today I will be taking Dr. Feser’s Five Proofs book and analyzing the pros and cons.  I will start with the chapter “Augustinian Proofs” since it comes the closest to the transcendental argument for God, as well as looking at other works about the inadequacy of bare monotheism, St Basil Vs Aristotle’s “great architect of the universe god” and thus no natural theology in the Thomistic sense, as well as some rejoinders to these problems from St. Maximos, as well as Q n A and super chats.  The full lecture is for paid subs to JaysAnalysis.

Can we make use of Aristotle’s “god,” the unmoved mover? What are the flaws and problems in his thought?
