Overview

Faith and Reason: From Thomas Aquinas to AI and Quantum Physics In an age of quantum strangeness, cosmic fine-tuning, artificial minds, and the lingering mystery of the universe's origin, the oldest questions remain the most urgent: Why does anything exist? What is the ground of being? Can faith and reason still speak to each other? Faith and Reason: From Thomas Aquinas to AI and Quantum Physics offers a simple yet profound answer: faith and reason are not rivals, but two windows opening onto the same inexhaustible reality. One window looks inward through revelation, metaphysics, and the longing for meaning; the other looks outward through observation, mathematics, and discovery. Together they reveal a fuller view than either could provide alone. Through luminous imaginary dialogues, Thomas Aquinas-the greatest synthesizer of faith and reason in Western thought-converses respectfully with Einstein, Oppenheimer, von Neumann, Fermi, Hawking, a contemporary AI, and even an extraterrestrial intelligence. In each exchange, the medieval metaphysician and the twenty-first-century scientist discover that they are asking the same fundamental questions, only in different languages. With clarity, charity, and intellectual courage, Boris Kriger shows that Aquinas's vision of act and potency, being and becoming, remains astonishingly alive-and urgently needed-in our age of accelerating discovery. This is not a book that forces a choice between God and the cosmos, but one that invites us to look through both windows at once. A timeless bridge between medieval wisdom and cutting-edge science, Faith and Reason is for anyone who believes that wonder is not extinguished by knowledge, but deepened by it.
