Who was a person who started with the Greeks and implemented that knowledge the best and why was it pic related?

>> No.11042908

You answered the first part, it was Aquinas. And the reason why is because he was blessed with a brilliant mind and worked hard until his infirmity and death. /lit/ could learn a lot from his example.

I stand in awe when I contemplate what he had done? Out of all the supposed Catholic miracles, I think that Thomas Aquinas is by far the most astounding. All the Eucharist miracles, lady of Guadalupe and stigmatas, which I don't believe at all was real, Thomas Aquinas is still by far the most fascinating miracle and is the only person who I actually seen to be convinced by the miracle that was his mind.
And this is coming from a protestant

Is it true that Aristotle and Aquinas have never really been refuted? I think Feser makes a very good case that guys like Descartes and Hume never really had a good reason for rejecting teleology but did so anyways which led to lot of problems that modern philosophy is still trying to answer without resorting to formal and final causes.

>tfw Aquinas didn't have access to more of Plato's writings

I get that he really didn't need them, but just imagine what sorts of commentaries he'd have written on the Republic or the Phaedo.

>> No.11045594

Anyone know some good commentaries or guides on Aquinas? I've read Feser's and another one by Brian Davies.
