Aquinas Unveils Surprising Insights on God's Knowledge of His Creatures
The article discusses how St. Thomas Aquinas used analogies to explain how God can have knowledge of finite things despite being infinite. Aquinas presents two modes of analogy - analogy of attribution and analogy of proportionality - to address this issue. He argues that we can name things based on our knowledge of them, but since we cannot fully comprehend God's essence, we cannot name God in the same way we name other things. Aquinas seems to favor the analogy of attribution over proportionality in his metaphysical system.
