Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas (1265-1274)

In this episode, we explore the Summa Theologica, Thomas Aquinas's monumental 1265–1274 masterwork that set out to explain… well, everything—from the nature of God to ethics, law, virtue, and the meaning of a good life. We'll unpack how Aquinas blended faith and reason, Aristotle and Christianity, and a whole lot of meticulous logic into one of the most influential texts in Western thought. With its bold questions, surprising clarity, and sweeping vision, the Summa still shapes theology and philosophy centuries later. Join us as we step into the mind of a thinker who tried to map the entire universe.
