The Argument from Contingency ‘Then’ and ‘Now’
From: God and Argument - Dieu et l'argumentation philosophique
$1.08
The paper has two rather loosely connected parts: the first part reflects on the significance of the argument from contingency in the Five Ways of St Thomas Aquinas and raises the question of whether the argument
depends in a sense upon the theological doctrine of creation. The second part turns to the question of our understanding of contingency in the contemporary world and does this by way of some reflections on
Heidegger, with special reference to Der Satz vom Grund, translated into English as The Principle of Reason.
