How to Think Like a Thomist: Being and Metaphysics

What is reality? What is real? When we start asking these questions, we start our inquiry into being. Everything that has being is in some way one and unified, true or intelligible, good and thus desirable, beautiful and therefore pleasing. When we proceed further along these lines, we have arrived at the science of metaphysics. In this episode, you’ll learn more about what the study of metaphysics is and how Aquinas uses it in relation to his Summa.

This Aquinas 101 video is a production of the Thomistic Institute. For resources and more information, please visit Aquinas 101.
