that we can get anything for granted because we are mere mortals

but it's an argument he's pushing with analysis

the whole introduction of the summa contra gentiles says it

"nothing can be proven thus here are arguments why I believe this to be true"

What I'm stating is though he views religion with an analytical view point, Aristotle questioned everything and made no incorruptible premise

ok yeah i stand with you on that, but the thomist methodology and dialectics follows aristotle

like "with reason i can prove that god is real with the philosopher's dialectics"

it's more of a point than an affirmation

like "this is why I believe"

not "this is the truth"

Which difffers from Aristotle, whom sought "truth", not "belief"

that's what i got from reading the summas

because god is surpassing our reason, then the only way to demonstrate if he is or isn't real is based on argumentation and reason

the truth of god is completely out of reach

so how do we prove or disprove his existence

that's why thomas wrote the summas

i'm not disagreeing with you, just nuancing it

He wouldn't have lived to the age he did if he asked, "How do we know God exists?", he pushed the ideology of "Can't disprove it, so why not God exist?" to push the beliefs of the Catholic church

yeah, that's the whole point of Scolastics I agree

but still uses the aristotelician method

He applies what benefitted the church to it but rejected everything else that didn't.

true

methodology can be used in different ways, some more dogmatic and some more based on reason

even if reason is built on dogmas and superstructures

so... yeah.

Listen
