Thomas Aquinas and The Flowering of Scholasticism (jan 1, 1200 – jan 1, 1274)

Description:

Thomas Aquinas was a teacher at the University of Paris. He created one of the great syntheses of medical learning. He believed that through reason it was possible to know much about natural order, moral law. and the nature of God. This led to scholasticism which was the dominant medieval philosophical approach. Scholasticism was based on using logic to resolve theological problems. This way of thinking helped to put an end to the Middle Ages as a more scientific thought process replaced superstition.
