Detailed explanation-1: -Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–74). One of Aristotle’s ideas that particularly influenced Thomas was that knowledge is not innate but is gained from the reports of the senses and from logical inference from self-evident truths.
Detailed explanation-2: -The master principle of natural law, wrote Aquinas, was that “good is to be done and pursued and evil avoided.” Aquinas stated that reason reveals particular natural laws that are good for humans such as self-preservation, marriage and family, and the desire to know God.
Detailed explanation-3: -The influence of Aristotle on the philosophy of Aquinas was so profound that many historians of philosophy have regarded Aquinas’ work as simply a heavily Christianised version of the Greek philosopher’s.
