Aquinas 101 - Course 2: Introduction to Thomistic Philosophy

CHAPTER

The Goodness of God

When i say god is wise or in a wholly other order, because is unlike creatures in that his wisdom is never just a property of himself, but is something substantial and infinite. It's his wisdom that begot the world. But it leaves the thing signified as uncomprehended and has exceeding the signification of the name. So he saying, you can name god is wi, but you don't have a comprehensive instance of a kind of encompassing understanding of what you're talking about. The reason is not that interesting, in a way, or it cannot be that interesting to think about things like the goodness of god, is because we don't actually know it that well.
