Pints With Aquinas

NOTE

Concreteness Over Abstract Arguments

Focusing on concrete experiences rather than abstract concepts enhances understanding and engagement. As individuals gain knowledge and wisdom through life experiences, they often shift away from the allure of abstract reasoning, recognizing its limitations and disconnect from practical realities. This evolution reflects a natural progression where initial ignorance gives way to a false sense of wisdom, underscoring the importance of remaining humble and aware of one’s own limitations. Effective understanding requires acknowledging ignorance as a starting point, while doubt represents a higher demand for certainty that may not always be warranted.
