Aquinas, St Thomas (
c.1225–74), an Italian philosopher and Dominican friar, the greatest of the medieval Scholastic theologians. He represents in his writings the culmination of Scholastic philosophy, the harmony of faith and reason, and the reconciliation of Christian theology with Aristotelian philosophy (see
Scholasticism). His
Summa Theologica (unfinished) is a vast synthesis of the moral and political sciences, brought within a theological and metaphysical framework. He was called the ‘Doctor Angelicus’, and by his school companions ‘the Dumb Ox’. His followers, called Thomists, are still an active school in contemporary philosophy, especially in France. He is a very important influence on
Dante's Divina Commedia whose philosophical framework is based on Aquinas. His other major works are the
Summa Contra Gentiles and a series of commentaries on
Aristotle.
