Aristotle's idea of God

[BidenPresident]

Can you give example to n his writings of multiple gods?

He opposed the very idea of personality as an attribute of God.

Can you please link to this statement?

Is Aristotle a monotheist?

It would seem so because

in Book 8 of Aristotle's Physics he proves the existence of a single Primary Mover or Unmoved Mover.
of his views on truth and contradiction, viz., that he believes in the law of non-contradiction. The Greek gods contradicted each other; therefore, it would seem Aristotle would not believe in the mythological Greek gods but in Absolute Truth

There is much more to support this at the link

"Thought thinking thought" is paradoxical because there is no subject.
God is thought, God is thinking, God is the object of his own thinking.

This is dialectical and not monistic.

We can think of Aristotle's God as a description of consciousness. God had no body, so it is pure consciousness, which is intelligence.

Good point.

God can mean anything a human mind thinks it is



Scary huh

According to what I have learned, Aristotle and Plato thought of God as a first principle, a higher truth. God was not conceived of as an anthropomorphized person. We are supposedly imbued with reason and intellect to participate in the divine, in this view.

One could actually say that Aristotle is closer to atheism than Christians' conception of God.

Get mental help.

Exposing these US national religion fallacies of those "serve the Pope or die" more perfect union with Islam "death to the infidels" malfeasance certainly stimulates avoidance & acceptance responses from their Peter Principle pyramid scheme of survival of the fittest fascists.
