Episode 59: Philosophical Theology Applied: Act and Potency, Existence and Essence with James Dolezal
In this enlightening discussion, James Dolezal, a visiting professor of theology at IRBS and an expert in philosophical theology, tackles profound concepts like the metaphysical problem of the one and the many. He sheds light on the critical distinction between existence and essence, emphasizing how essence alone does not guarantee existence. The conversation navigates Aristotle's insights and their interplay with Christian thought, highlighting the unique nature of divine existence as pure act versus human existence as potentiality. Dolezal's insights challenge listeners to reflect deeply on the nature of reality.
