Kurzbeschreibung

<P>Philosophers and theologians who still consider belief in God to need rational justification frequently offer the arguments of Aquinas as such as justification. This book is a systematic study of the Five Ways by which St. Thomas Aquinas, in the <i>Summa Theologiae</i>, said that the existence of God could be demonstrated. The arguments are evaluated critically to show what they establish and what they fail to establish.</P>
