[Introduction]
Summary of a lecture given to the VUC Philosophical Society in the Staff Common Room, June 8, 8 p.m., by Rev. Dr. Duggan, S.M., D.D.
Some modern philosophers contend that the existence of God is not properly a philosophical question. This is not the view of most of the great philosophers of history, nor is it shared by modern scholastics.
The Scholastics define philosophy as "the rational interpretation of the whole of reality in terms of its ultimate causes." Dr. Duggan explained the various elements in this definition and pointed out how, in such a conception of philosophy there must be a place for the question of God's existence.
