Edward Feser defends the "Neo-Platonic proof" for the existence of the God of classical theism. After articulating the argument and a number of preliminaries, I first argue that premise three of Feser's argument - the causal principle that every composite object requires a sustainin...

520 |a Edward Feser defends the "Neo-Platonic proof" for the existence of the God of classical theism. After articulating the argument and a number of preliminaries, I first argue that premise three of Feser's argument - the causal principle that every composite object requires a sustaining efficient cause to combine its parts - is both unjustified and dialectically ill-situated. I then argue that the Neo-Platonic proof fails to deliver the mindedness of the absolutely simple being and instead militates against its mindedness. Finally, I uncover two tensions between Trinitarianism and the Neo-Platonic proof.
