Could a nominalist deny the existence of God? This might seem like a high-level question for philosophers and theologians. But, more people today than you think are nominalists, whether explicitly or implicitly. So, what exactly is a nominalist? And why might they have a problem with certain arguments for the existence of God? In this episode of Aquinas 101: The Five Ways, join Fr. Ambrose Little, O.P., a Catholic priest and Dominican friar from the Province of St. Joseph, as he explains how to refute nominalist objections to "the existence argument" for God.
