In one of Aquinas’s arguments for God is the height of all perfection. There must, however, be the least perfect thing. What would that be?
 
YosefYosep throws out a question :** “In one of Aquinas’s arguments for God is the height of all perfection.
There must, however, be the least perfect thing.
What would that [perfect thing] be?”**

Yosef, you have not taken a class in Logic (and are probably much better off for it).

As far as people are concerned there is NO chance for us to be Perfect (depending on which definition of Perfect you have in your mind).
So, your hypothesis could be slightly re-written: God is the Source of all perfection… or, God is all perfection … or, All perfection is in God.
 
I’m sorry I was a bit tired when writing that question. I guess I was not clear enough. In Aquinas’s argument he argues that there are certain degrees of goodness or perfection. We judge these degrees by comparison to a maximum, therefore there is a maximum that sets the standard for all perfection and goodness. This maximum is God. I was wondering whether or not there would exist a minimum of all goodness and perfection, and if so, what would it be? Sin?
 
Lol sorry about the illogical statement in my first post! I guess I edited it while half asleep and didn’t really check it for clarity!
 
Hey YosefYosep, please list the citation of where Thomas Aquinas made the Perfection statements.

It will give me (and maybe others) the chance to look it up, and give a wiser response.
I admit, I have not read any Aquinas in more than 15 years … I am so rusty, I can hear my mind squeaking.
 
I think he was referring to Aquinas’ Fourth Way; in a nutshell, it argues that since “good” implies “best”, and since things in the material world contain good things (I think he refers to them as “perfections”; I think it’s supposed to be analogous to a “great-making property”), that that implies that there is a standard for all goodness, which is God.
 
In the Thomistic world, the least perfect thing would be prime matter, or matter which is completely devoid of act. It is a conceptual thing that is pure potency. As to that ‘actual’ thing that is most imperfect, it would have to be something with very little actuality, what that is, I don’t know. Probably something in the microcosm.
