Faith, reason, and medieval thought

This selection introduces Thomas Aquinas through writings shaped by a central philosophical question: how faith and reason relate. The source describes his engagement with Aristotle alongside his conviction that wisdom and truth ultimately depend on divine revelation. The pieces also reach beyond theology, touching on political science, anti-Semitism, and heresy, and include influential statements of Christian doctrine. Together, these subjects present a broad view of Aquinas’s intellectual concerns within medieval philosophy and theology.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers exploring medieval philosophy and its major thinkers.
  • For those interested in the relationship between Christian theology and Aristotelian philosophy.
  • For readers studying political and religious questions in medieval writing.

Book overview

A unique synthesis of ancient philosophy and theology from one of the greatest medieval philosophers

Saint Thomas Aquinas forged a unique synthesis of ancient philosophy and medieval theology. Preoccupied with the relationship between faith and reason, Aquinas was influenced both by Aristotle's rational world view and by the powerful belief that wisdom and truth can ultimately only be reached through divine revelation. His writings, which contain highly influential statements of fundamental Christian doctrine, as well as observations on topics as diverse as political science, anti-Semitism and heresy, demonstrate the great range of his intellect and place him firmly among the greatest medieval philosophers.
