Thomism

Thomism is a philosophical and theological system based on the ideas of St. Thomas Aquinas, a 13th-century scholar. It seeks to reconcile faith and reason, emphasizing that human rationality can help understand divine truths. Central to Thomism is the belief in the existence of God, the nature of reality, and the importance of moral law. Thomists argue that the universe reflects God's order and that human beings can come to know God through observation, reason, and revelation. This framework has significantly influenced Catholic theology, ethics, and Western philosophy.
