Saint Thomas Aquinas

Saint Thomas Aquinas
Education in the 13th century was shaped profoundly by the work of Italian philosopher and theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas's writings attempted to reconcile the philosophy of Aristotle with the ideas of Christian theologian Saint Augustine. Aquinas employed both reason and faith in the study of metaphysics, moral philosophy, and religion.
