- Theological Argument
- Aquinas
- The 5th Way
- Things that lack knowledge cannot achieve anything unless directed by a thing with knowledge
- There is therefore an intelligent being that directs everyone towards a purpose
- This suggests there is a being which links all beings
- All natural occurrences show evidence of design
- For Aquinas, this being is God
- The 5th Way
- Telos
- The Telelogical argument therefore argues that the universe is being directed towards an end purpose
- also it argues the posteriori evidence of an apparent intelligent designer in the world implies the existence of an intelligent designer
- The word Telos is Greek for purpose
- Aquinas
