Santo Tomás de Aquino
Santo Tomás de Aquino (1225-1274) was a medieval Catholic philosopher and theologian whose works laid the foundation for much of Western thought. His synthesis of Aristotelian philosophy with Christian doctrine established him as a pivotal figure in scholasticism. His influential writings, particularly the 'Summa Theologica,' explore the nature of God, ethics, and justice, articulating a vision of justice that integrates natural law with moral theology. Aquino's thoughts on justice have had a lasting impact on both philosophy and Catholic social teaching.
