In the 13th century when Aristotle’s ideas were presented in Latin to the Christian theologians, a revolution in Western philosophical thought resulted. At the center of the intellectual controversies is the figure of Thomas Aquinas. Thomas, the most rational of theologians or the most religious of philosophers provided profound and innovative solutions to metaphysical, epistemological and moral problems. This course will examine his sources, his solutions and the responses of his contemporaries.

Prerequisite(s): One 100-Level Philosophy course.
