Aquinas on Omnipresence
The fifth lecture in the 2017-18 Philosophy Speaker Series was presented by Dr. Jeffrey Brower, Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University. Brower writes, "According to the traditional doctrine of divine omnipresence, God is present everywhere. But how is that possible? For God to be present everywhere, he must be located in space. But aren't material objects the only type of being that can be located in space? In this paper, I explore Aquinas's answers to these questions, as well as what they tell us about the nature of space and spatial location."
