Cosmological Argument
- Aquinas
- First Way
- Observe things
are in a process
of motion
- Everything is
changing from a
potential state to
actual
- Something
can't be actual
and potential at
the same time
- E.g. if something is
actually hot it can't be
potentially hot but can
be potentially cold
- Everything in
motion must have
been put in it by
another
- Chain of
motion can't go
on for infinite
- Necessary
to have a
first mover
- Second Way
- Nothing is
an efficient
cause of
itself
- Efficient
cause follows
in order: 1,2,3
- Not possible for
efficient cause to
go back to
infinity
- Necessary to
admit first
efficient
cause
- Leibniz
