How many ways did Aquinas argue for God's existence?

Aquinas presented five ways to argue for God's existence in his work, the "Summa Theologica." These arguments include the argument from motion, causation, contingency, degrees of perfection, and teleological reasoning (design). Each way seeks to demonstrate God's existence through different aspects of reality, emphasizing the need for a first cause or necessary being. Together, they form a comprehensive philosophical framework for understanding the existence of God.
