SUMMARY:On the Eternity of the World: Aristotle\, Bonaventure\, Aquinas\, Kant
DESCRIPTION:This master class is open to current graduate students and uper-level University of Chicago undergraduates. It will take place online via Zoom\, in four sessions\, over two days. \nToward the end of his Physics\, Aristotle argued that the motion in the physical world\, and with it the world itself\, never began and will never cease.  Medieval Christian thinkers agreed that this position conflicted with revelation\, but they assessed it in a wide variety of ways.  In modernity\, Kant used the problem of the world’s duration as evidence of the boundaries of mere reason. \nIn this master class\, we will go through Aristotle’s arguments\, Bonaventure’s rejection of them and insistence that the world’s having begun can be proved\, Aquinas’s denial of any possible proof on either side\, and Kant’s antinomous “proofs” for both sides.  The readings invite discussion of such topics as the relation between reason and faith\, how to understand creation ex nihilo\, the relation between physics and metaphysics\, and the limits of human knowledge. \nSCHEDULE \n\nWednesday\, July 29\, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM; 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM\nThursday\, July 30\, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM; 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM\n\nREADINGS \n\nAristotle\, Physics\, VIII.1-2\, 250b10-253a21\nBonaventure\, In II Sent.\, d. 1\, p. 1\, a. 1\, q. 2\nThomas Aquinas\, Summa theologiae I\, q. 45\, aa. 1-2; Summa theologiae I\, q. 46; Compendium theologiae ch. 98-99; Summa contra gentiles\, II\, caps. 31-37; On the Eternity of the World\nImmanuel Kant\, Critique of Pure Reason\, Transcendental Dialectic\, II.2.2\, First Antinomy
