Detailed explanation-1: -Aquinas solved the problem of faith and reason, in essence, by denying there even was a fundamental problem, so long as reason and faith were understood in their proper places. Reason, he argued, is a gift of God and established in creation as a virtue for all men and women.
Detailed explanation-2: -The relationship between philosophy and theology, between faith and reason, had to be re-thought. There is a “philosophy” that is complete and convincing in and of itself, a rationality that precedes faith, and then there is a “theology, ‘’ which is a way of thinking through faith and in faith.
Detailed explanation-3: -There, his teacher in arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music was Petrus de Ibernia. It was at this university that Thomas was presumably introduced to Aristotle, Averroes and Maimonides, all of whom would influence his theological philosophy.
