Episode Synopsis

The historical influence of Aristotle (384-322 BC) rests on the labours of one man, namely, Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). John Vespasian explains why Aquinas devoted most of his life to reconciling Christian theology with Aristotelian philosophy. He also breaks down the key aspects in which Aquinas retook Aristotelian philosophy and made it accessible to large numbers of readers.
