Subject: Philosophy (Div.) (DVPH)
CRN: 42814
In Person | Lecture
St Paul: In Person
This course examines the sensible beings of material reality—inanimate and animate—in their natures, their mutability, and their causes. Special attention will be given to the relation of matter and form, the categories of being, and the nature of change. Because sensible beings are more knowable to the human mind, this course is ordered towards preparing students for further philosophical studies in what is more knowable in itself in the study of Metaphysics and Natural Theology.

The course focuses principally on the contributions of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas to the question of the intellect’s relation to the order of being.
