What does St. Thomas Aquinas say about efficient causality, and what are the kinds of efficient causes? How does the relationship between a being’s existence and its environment work in the ontology of St. Thomas? What is causal overdetermination-and what does all of this have to do with milkshakes? Big questions like these have been popping up in the comment boxes of our Aquinas 101 videos since the start of our very first season. In this video series with Fr. Ambrose Little, O.P., we will attempt to provide some answers.

thank you Fr Little!
Haha! Your funny. As I listen to you I realize just how very smart St Thomas was. You too!
You are always amusing, Fr. Little 😁 God bless!
What a delightful poetry, a sugary one. Happy to reflect on the eternal wisdom of God and his creation. As some bee, i will not blame you, or your white sugar drops.
#AskAFriar : A humble question. St Bernadette Soubirous once said: "My job is to inform you, not to convince" . Is it theologically sound on all levels?? Many Thanks :D
My father died on the 17th of this month, I'm sad.
I’m very sorry for your loss. What was his name, I will offer a rosary for his soul and for you. :)
Very clear explanation. Thank you.
No wonder I can’t understand Aquinas, I am lactose intolerant!
Best comment! LOL🤣
Thanks for reviewing the concepts related to efficient causality. I also find it helpful in engineering and policy development.
Your explanations of Auxilliary and Advisory efficient causes was unclear to me though.
Can you post a reference to the Arabic philosopher please?
i laughed but it's not funny to me...I have a serious headache, and I didn't even have milkshake. I'm always humbled by how philosophy and especially St. Thomas explains the complicated and makes sense.
St. Thomas Aquinas seems to have ways to analyze different questions using techniques appropriate for the problem. Can a course be provided to help the student recognize which technique is most appropriate for a certain type of puzzle? The courses in Season 1 describe the techniques but don't explicitly relate them to certain types of questions.
Yes you did!
The milkshake joke was great.
#AskAfriar first i would like to thank you all for your amazing videos and secondly I would like to know what "Habitus" is in Thomist and Neo-Thomist philosophy.
What is the relationship between soul and body in conjoined twins? #AskAFriar
Audio levels are a bit low.
#askafriar if the Bible can not contradict itself then I must have a explanation for this instance. The description of “sons of God” is used to depict faithful humans all throughout the Bible but in Job it is used to describe angels. This is confusing since because some will use this as a defense to explain that the “sons of God” in Genesis are angels and not the men descended from Seth. How can I explain that the Bible uses the same term for different things and how to determine which meaning is use for the term in which instance, especially with the term “sons of God”.

Fr. Ambrose looks like Quentin Tarantino.
He does
He has a more congenial appearance, and voice.
jajajajjajajaja don't blame me, blame the milkshake... This is the best!
I think my head ache was caused by the awful pun at the end.
Thanks for the lesson.
Ha got ‘em
"Auxiliary effects" that we don't understand in the slightest, saw the sudden explosion of all the current plant and animal phylums 530MYA. Where did that information suddenly come from? Certainly not Darwinian evolution from a single cell. And many many more unexplained jumps in the fossil record.
oooof
Lol causal overdetermination XD
Perhaps St Thomas wasn't quite as attuned to God as thought. He was/ is of simplistic nature, not needing explanation to make a point!
Forms have been dismissed long ago. A form is just an imaginary concept. What is the form of a heap? Kinds means really nothing in science. Class descriptions are in science. Essence is just a made up thing. What is the essence of a milkshake? What is the essence of Harry Potter? What is the essence of a heap? See what I mean?
The essence of Heep is Uriah. The essence of hairy potters is her suit.
Dismissed by whom?
@@tytyvyllus8298 By pretty much everyone in science. It is an idea, that's all. What is the form of a heap? How big does it have to be a heap from a pile? What shape does a heap have?
@@jamessgian7691 The essence of a heap is the “My light is God”? I didn't know heaps can be so Godly? The essence of Harry Potter is a fictional character, wizard, etc. He doesn't exist yet he has an essence. Essence means really nothing.
Then youcan explain us a better understanding of being
