OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.
