Adler's Criticisms

Dante becomes an interpretive lens for each of the five ways. And you need to understand the deeper met physics to really make sense and unify the five ways at once. You read them like that, properly, a you're going to see that adler's critiques just don't fly. This was actually a pretty big point of contention between him and jacques maritan. Maritan came down quite hard on adler, because adler had an article published in one of the catholic journals where he kind of pushed this objection.
