Nonetheless, I find that The Philosopher has sufficiently demonstrated the nature of the Prime Mover as thought and the nature of the content of the Prime Mover’s thought (about-thought-about-thought!); and a key component of this nature is the very perfection and goodness of His thought as connected to His teleological role as the source of all movement. If God is the perfect being whose nature is perfect thinking; and if His very thoughts are the fount of all motion in the universe; then included in the purity of His thought-of-His-thought-of-His-thought must be His Creation; and naturally, each and every being of Creation then enjoys an individuated divine concern. In this way we may answer quite definitively: yes, Aristotle’s Prime Mover/God-thought/God does think about me. This is not to suggest that I or any other mere mortal is particularly worthy of consideration by God, but recalling the argument for the unity of thought manifested from composite good thoughts, it is not ill-conceived to include an individual being of Creation as worthy of divine consideration by virtue of its function as a component of the perfection of Creation as
