The part is “ ”s are things I copied more or less completely, from the internet.
“Thomas Aquinas (ca. 1225–1274) takes inspiration from antiquity, especially Aristotle. It was Aquinas’s conviction, that the Christian faith could only benefit from a profound engagement with philosophy and science. In 1879, Pope Leo XIII called for a revival in the study and teaching of Aquinas.”
“The master principle of natural law, wrote Aquinas, was that “good is to be done and pursued and evil avoided.” Aquinas stated that reason reveals particular natural laws that are good for humans such as self-preservation, marriage and family, and the desire to know God.”
We had a brief discussion afterwards. Whether you agree with Thomas Aquinas about natural law or not, I think he had something important to say. What is ‘good’? What is ‘evil’? Has the definition of ‘good’ changed over time or is it eternal? Is ‘good’ universal, the same for an atheist as for a Christian? How do we know something is ‘good’? Is it subject to empirical evidence? Is it a product of reason? Do we reason backwards from its consequences?
Like perhaps all of you, I took plane geometry and I remember learning that an axiom or postulate was something we could not prove, but we took it as ‘true’ because it made ‘sense’. From that, we derived ‘corollaries’ or something that is true assuming the axiom or postulate is true.
In other words, some things in life we accept as true even if we can’t prove it. I think that is the nature of a lot (or all) of philosophical and religious thinking. It makes sense to us. We take it on faith, but it cannot be proven. (You are welcome to disagree!)
Oddly enough, science is not something that can be proven. Science is something that can only be disproven empirically. The philosophy of science is that an assertion is a scientific assertion if it can be disproven.
“Karl Popper defined science as a system of theories that are falsifiable, meaning they can be tested and potentially proven wrong through observation or experimentation. This concept of falsifiability is the key criterion” of science.
