Aquinas: Faith and Reason

Aquinas: Faith and Reason

Can faith and reason truly work together? In this episode of Philosophy for Beginners, we explore the thought of Thomas Aquinas, the medieval scholar who sought harmony between Aristotle’s philosophy and Christian theology.

Aquinas argued that reason could uncover truths about the natural world, while faith revealed mysteries beyond reason’s reach. His Summa Theologica became a cornerstone of Western philosophy and theology, shaping debates on ethics, law, and the nature of God.

Join us as we uncover how Aquinas united faith and reason — and why his vision continues to influence philosophy, religion, and culture today.
