“ The soul is like an uninhabited worldthat comes to life only whenGod lays His headagainst us. ”
Better to illuminate than merely to shine to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.
~ Thomas Aquinas
The Study of philosophy is not that we may know what men have thought, but what the truth of things is.
Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.
Causes of individuals presuppose causes of the species, which are not univocal yet not wholly equivocal either, since they are expressing themselves in their effects. We could call them analogical. In language too all universal terms presuppose the non-univocal analogical use of the term *being*.
