Tomáš Akvinský (1225-1274), dominikánsky kňaz a filozof, žil a tvoril v čase, kedy prvé kontakty s Aristotelovým dielom v latinských prekladoch začínajú otriasať základmi tradičnej európskej vzdelanosti a problematizovať vzťah medzi náboženskou vierou a rozumom. Tomášovo dielo vytvorilo základ pre spojenie biblickej tradície a gréckej racionality a je jedným z míľnikov dejín európskeho myslenia.
