  • Summary

  • This text is an excerpt from G.K. Chesterton's book St. Thomas Aquinas, which is a biographical and philosophical examination of the titular figure. The text contrasts St. Thomas with St. Francis, arguing that St. Thomas was a "man of reason" while St. Francis was a "man of feeling". It then goes on to explain how St. Thomas was a defender of Aristotle, who was often seen as a threat to the Church. Chesterton contends that St. Thomas's defense of Aristotle, coupled with his commitment to reason, ultimately contributed to the development of science. The text concludes by discussing the key elements of Thomism, including its emphasis on common sense, reality, and the relationship between mind and object.
