THE 671 Aquinas & the Medieval Renaissance
This course presents the advent of Aristotelian thought in thirteenth-century Christendom and its spurring of both theological and philosophical innovations and reactions in Christian life and thought. At the heart of this drama, St. Thomas Aquinas’s dynamic synthesis of philosophy and theology is examined through his various writings and in selected commentaries.
