I shall underline how the distinction of Thomism is based on, hence in debt with, Aristotle's metaphysical view. I shall show, citing some emblematic arguments for each position, the metaphysical distinction of Thomas Aquinas and its refinement by Barry Miller in section 3. I shall present Miller's interpretative claim on the Aristotelian essentialism in section 2. My aim is to show that Aristotle already distinguished essence and existence and that Aquinas, and then Miller, used the very same Aristotelian concepts. On the other hand, Miller argues that Aquinas' merit is affected by the fault of not having successfully explained such a distinction, so he tries to give a satisfactory definition of it offering a Thomistic refined account. God is ipsum esse subsistens, the pure act of existing. On the contrary, Thomas Aquinas introduced the metaphysical distinction between essence and existence, thereby adding a new sense of being. God is the act of being in and of itself God is not a Yeti or a Bigfoot. ![]() ![]() Although some of our other beliefs are different I hope that you can learn to believe in and trust in God.Barry Miller, likewise other exponents of the Thomism, sustains that for Aristotle the essence of something captures the entirety of something's being and the other senses of 'to be' are not genuine because are reducible to the essence, namely they are redundant. Its essentially nonsense text that still gives an idea of what real words will look like in the final product. Also known as filler or dummy text, this is text copy that serves to fill a space without saying anything meaningful. We both don’t believe in some sky fairy or flying spaghetti monster. Lorem Ipsum has been the industrys standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type. Lorem ipsum is a name for a common type of placeholder text. I also hope that you have seen we have a lot in common, despite what society and the world may believe. I hope that this response has helped you to understand what Catholics really believe about God. If you know love, goodness, or beauty then you know God. Bentz is presenting Siewerth's specific contribution to Thomism's analysis of the ipsum esse, thinking about the. Knowing that people love me and are there for me is enough proof for me to believe that God exists. On days where I am feeling down, my family is there for me. For example, my personal proof for God is the love of my family. When proving trying to prove God’s existence instead of using intellect we must speak from experience. Bell describes that “as reason and intellect became more prominent, other ways of knowing became less emphasized.” But instead of thinking with your head, try to think with your heart for once. There is no scientific proof that God exists.Humans naturally want to use reason and intellect to understand God. If you are asking me to prove God exists scientifically, I can not. This shows that we cannot picture God as something physical, but instead something beyond the realm of science. This is described in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “we are not to confuse our image of God with our human representations”. ![]() We also must try not to picture God as a thing. It refers to the Christian belief that God does not depend on any cause other than himself for his existence, realization, or end, and has within himself his own reason of existence. God is not a good person, He is goodness. Aseity (from Latin 'from' and s 'self', plus -ity) is the property by which a being exists of and from itself. To Catholics God is not some flying spaghetti monster or some magical fairy in the clouds. Hahnenberg writes, “God is not ‘a being’ God is simply ‘to be’”. According to Saint Thomas Aquinas, God is not “Ens Summum” (The Highest Being) but instead God is “Ipsum Esse S ubsistens ” (The sheer act of existence itself). I also think that this is a great opportunity to have a nice conversation about what us Catholics really believe.
