Analogies with St Thomas Aquinas

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The current article is orphane in interwiki, where I would like to add it to w:it:Progressus in infinitum whose secondary name is Regressus in infinitum. The article is written with concerns to Aristotle's thought. It was at the fundament of the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas.

Such a sourced statement "The created things are many, a chain of causes and effects is also present, but to avoid the fallacy of anavastha, it is necessary to consider Brahman as the root cause." And, going on, "Brahman, the First cause, has no origin (Brahma Sutra II.3.9)" are practically identi to the Fist Uncaused Cause of St. Thomas Aquinas. Brahman is:

the Creator,
pure consciousness ([1]))
"self-illuminating and it illuminates others by its own illumination" ([2]). It would be WP notable to know if Brahman had a body according to the Upanishadic doctrine of Brahman and Atman. Does someone know if Brahman may be assimilated also to the Unmoved mover of Aristotle?

But analogies seem to be enough to link the Anavastha and Latin-Greek regressus ad infinitum, even for the respective consequences in philosophy. The lenght of this topic was less than usual. The current Wikidata item has to be hopefully merged with [3]. I can't do that on my own. Hope that someone will help.Theologian81sp (talk) 08:11, 7 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
