• Discuss how modern philosophers are at odds with Aristotle’s philosophy?
• How does the Christian theology of Creation out of nothing connect with Aristotle’s idea that whatever emerges later must actually be there in the beginning? Is this a contradiction?
• Aristotle never quite said that the primary unmoved mover was good and beautiful. Augustine and Aquinas later rejected some of Aristotle’s conclusions. Discuss why their rejections are so essential to the transcendentals of the good and the beautiful.
• Why does the primary unmoved mover have to be understood as intellect?
