OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A central and unifying theme in Aquinas’s metaphysical thought is the act of existence. This signifies an actuality more fundamental than form. In exploring the act of existence and its relation to the thing whose act it is, Thomas is led to consider the causality of that act. It is through considering the causality of the act of existence that Aquinas is led to affirm God’s existence, and in turn is able to anaylse God’s causality in the act of creation.
