## Bio

Born around 1225 in Italy, Thomas joined the Dominican order and spent his life trying to reconcile ancient Greek philosophy with Christian faith. Between 1256 and 1274 he wrote the Disputed Questions on Truth, the Summa contra Gentiles, and began the Summa Theologica - an unfinished but massive guide to Catholic theology that introduced his Five Ways of proving God and laid out a system of virtue ethics drawn partly from Aristotle. He also composed Eucharistic hymns still used in liturgy. He died on 7 March 1274, leaving behind Thomism, a school of thought that dominated medieval philosophy and earned him the title Doctor Angelicus. The Church named him one of its 38 Doctors, and his work continues to influence modern ethics, aesthetics, and cognitive theory.
