Saint Thomas Aquinas
During the 13th century, Saint Thomas Aquinas sought to reconcile Aristotelian philosophy with Augustinian theology. He employed both reason and faith in the study of metaphysics, moral philosophy, and religion, but he suggested that the truths of reason and those of faith applied to different realms. Aquinas’ work allayed some of the fears that officials of the Roman Catholic church had regarding the study and development of science.
