About the author
Born in Italy around 1225, Thomas Aquinas became a Dominican friar, priest, theologian, and philosopher. He studied under Albertus Magnus and went on to teach and write in the great intellectual centers of his time, especially Paris and Italy.
He is best known for bringing Aristotle into dialogue with Christian thought and for building a clear, systematic approach to theology. Among his major works, the Summa Theologiae stands out as his most famous and influential, and he is widely regarded as one of the central figures of medieval Scholasticism.
Aquinas died in 1274. Over the centuries, his work has had a lasting influence on Roman Catholic thought and on Western philosophy more broadly, and he is honored as a saint and Doctor of the Church.
