Why do I feel like objecting to the the division of significant and insignificant? You're free to explain to me why I hesitate to follow part of the division. I suppose it would be from the considering everything to be making of God as such and if that is admitted ( that everything is indeed the making of God) then it would seem to follow that everything has signification. On the other hand from what is more obvious to us( as Aristotle makes the difference between what's more known to us and what's not more known to us i.e which can be said "more known to Nature" and I think this is how he says it, atleast in the English translation of one of his books probably categories sinde that's the only one I've read) it is possible to admit that we can make a divison between "significant" and "non-significant"( after dividing sound)
yes, "significant" and "insignificant" refer to signification in the human intellect, not the divine intellect. As Aquinas explains concerning the spiritual sense of scripture, God uses things to signify other things, but humans use words to signify things. So with regard to divine signification, you are right, everything is significant.
And sound significant by nature, eg. moan of pain, and music perhaps? Nature is prior to convention, isn't it? As relation between man and woman is prior to all others?
Thanks again for these videos. I'd love to know if you are going to do anymore in the future.
Priceless lessons... excellent play list for anyone.... Thnkx
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!
What a beautiful exposition! Great work 🙂
How did you make slides? 6:19 what do you mean here by fundemental? What makes something more fundemental than something else?

It would be great if there were a printable chart... This is too much info to organize
