Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saint Thomas Aquinas believed that knowledge of society and the physical world was not an obstacle to true knowledge and that philosophy could aid in faith. He also believed in the concept of natural law, which suggests that a moral code could be derived from observing nature and human behavior. This is in contrast to Saint Augustine's view that the only source of truth was from God and that the physical world was a distraction from spiritual pursuits.
