About this episode

Dr. Robert Koons discusses and defends Aquinas's Five Ways, highlighting their philosophical significance.

Dr. Robert Koons has two forthcoming books on Aquinas's Five Ways—one popular, one academic—so we spend this episode walking through how he understands and defends each of the Five Ways, and why they're far more philosophically interesting than they're usually given credit for.
