Abstract
Medieval philosophers argue severely whether the world exists forever. Thomas Aquinas argues that the beginning of the world can not be demonstrated but is a truth knowable only through revelation. Bonaventura not only holds that we know by faith and revelation that the world has a beginning; he also asserts that reason can demonstrate it. The controversy between them forms the first of Kant' s four Antinomies.
