    Aquinas: Language and God At the beginning of class this week‚ we reviewed the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas‚ focusing especially on the fourth way‚ which involves degrees of perfection. Since it was discussed previously‚ I only took a few notes regarding things that had not been touched on before. Basically‚ no one can live in a way which denies degrees of perfection.
