From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225 – March 7, 1274) was an Italian Catholic philosopher and theologian in the scholastic tradition. He gave birth to the Thomistic school of philosophy, which was long the primary philosophical approach of the Roman Catholic Church. He is considered by the Catholic Church to be its greatest theologian and one of the thirty-three Doctors of the Church and is also generally considered the greatest philosopher of the Middle Ages, a timespan of roughly one millennium.
