Object before knowledge of the object

“If there were not some first, our knowledge would never be anything more than a hypothesis...”
“This is probably the position of the naturalists and physicalists... All successful knowledge is scientific, all scientific knowledge is hypothetical, therefore etc...”
“St. Thomas and Aristotle implicitly respond to this criticism by the simplest route: they show that there is something known first...”
(From Just Thomism)

My comment: We go deeper into nature and say that before there can be something known of a subject, or known of an object, there is an object. This includes knowledge of the Supreme Object God.
