3. Question : (TCO 3) Explain and evaluate Thomas Aquinas’ Cosmological
Argument for the existence of God: The first
and plainest is the
method that proceeds from the point of view of
motion. It is
certain and in accord with experience, that
things on earth
undergo change. Now, everything that is moved
is moved by
something; nothing, indeed, is changed, except
it is changed to
something which it is in potentiality. Moreover,
anything moves in
accordance with something actually existing;
change itself, is
nothing else than to bring forth something
from potentiality into
actuality. Now, nothing can be brought from
potentiality to actual
existence except through something actually
existing: thus heat
in action, as fire, makes fire-wood, which is
hot in potentiality, to
be hot actually, and through this process,
changes itself. The
same thing cannot at the same time be actually
and potentially
the same thing, but only in regard to
different things. What is
actually hot cannot be at the same time
potentially hot, but it is
possible for it at the same time to be
potentially cold.
It is impossible, then, that anything should
be both mover and
the thing moved, in regard to the same thing
and in the same
way, or that it should move itself.
Everything, therefore, is moved
by something else. If, then, that by which it
is moved, is also
moved, this must be moved by something still
different, and this,
again, by something else. But this process
cannot go on to infinity
because there would not be any first mover,
nor, because of this
fact, anything else in motion, as the
succeeding things would not
Page 2 of 4
move except because of what is moved by the
first mover, just as
a stick is not moved except through what is
moved from the
hand. Therefore it is necessary to go back to
some first mover,
which is itself moved by nothing–and this all
men know as God.
Briefly explain and then evaluate this proof
for the existence of
God.
