Publisher's Synopsis
Science and Wisdom by St. Thomas Aquinas is a philosophical and theological treatise that explores the relationship between faith and reason. Aquinas was a medieval theologian and philosopher who sought to reconcile the teachings of the Catholic Church with the principles of Aristotelian philosophy. In this book, he argues that both faith and reason are necessary for a complete understanding of the world and our place in it.The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the nature of wisdom and how it can be acquired through both faith and reason. Aquinas argues that wisdom is the highest form of knowledge, and that it is attained through a combination of intellectual inquiry and spiritual contemplation.The second part of the book focuses on the relationship between faith and reason. Aquinas argues that faith and reason are not in conflict with each other, but rather complement each other. He believes that reason can help us to understand the natural world, while faith provides us with a deeper understanding of spiritual truths.The final part of the book explores the role of science in understanding the world. Aquinas argues that science is a valuable tool for understanding the natural world, but that it is limited in its ability to help us understand spiritual truths. He believes that science and religion can coexist, but that they operate in different spheres of understanding.Overall, Science and Wisdom is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between faith and reason. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or the intersection of science and religion.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Thomas Aquinas Philosophical Texts, by St. Thomas Aquinas .
