Aquinas Argued

Famous quotes containing the words aquinas and/or argued:

“Because we cannot know what God is, but only what He is not, we cannot consider how He is but only how He is not.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

“It has often been argued that absolute scepticism is self-contradictory; but this is a mistake: and even if it were not so, it would be no argument against the absolute sceptic, inasmuch as he does not admit that no contradictory propositions are true. Indeed, it would be impossible to move such a man, for his scepticism consists in considering every argument and never deciding upon its validity; he would, therefore, act in this way in reference to the arguments brought against him.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
