Summarize Thomas Aquinas’ “Five Ways” of proving God’s existence. Thomas Aquinas concludes each of the
ways with a statement that is something like “this thing whose existence I have proven is what we call God.”
Might we call it something else; that is, might it be something else whose existence he has proven? Could he
have proven the existence of multiple gods, or does his notion of God’s “pure act of being” (actus purus)
preclude such a possibility? Consider Richard Swinburne’s view that the Five Ways are only strong when taken
together as a single “grand argument” in your conclusions.
