Thomas was born in the family castle in Lombardy near Naples, Italy, and educated by Benedictine monks at Monte Cassino, and at the University of Naples. He rarely spoke and had a rather large, imposing body. This prompted his classmates to give him the nickname of The Dumb Ox.

What did St Thomas Aquinas do?

Thomas Aquinas was an Italian priest of the Catholic Church in the Dominican Order and an influential philosopher and theologian. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of the modern philosophy was brought up from the reaction against or as an agreement with hi ideas...particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law and political theory. Thomas Aquinas sought to make a distinction between philosophy and theology and then went on to explain that theological arguments or discourse were dependent upon starting points or principles that are held true on the basis of faith. Thomas Aquinas tried to prove the Existence of God through five ways: Motion, Causation, Contingency, Goodness and Design. Aquinas sought to employ rational argumentation in defence of Christian theology. He espoused the metaphysical teachings of Aristotle, which were a change from the Augustinian tradition of the middle ages.
