XXXVII. THOMAS AQUINAS
“…has been hailed by common consent in the modern world as the prince of scholastics, not only as doctor angelicus, but also , as he was acclaimed soon after his death, the doctor communis. To Thomists of pure blood, as to many others besides, he appears as the authentic voice of reason, interpreting and defending tradition, as the greatest medieval representative of the philosophia perennis, the way of thinking that is ever ancient and ever new.” David Knowles.
