Abstract

Modern scholars have argued that switching to the research objective and appropriate a philosopher, you have from the beginning of their historical context. This kind of historical reconstruction and evaluation methods is needed, especially for the medieval philosopher more necessary. So far, there are a lot of people misunderstand In order philosophy of this period, because this period due to religious experience and thought produced by the brewing, so they are isolated In order. And they are in the Middle Ages and with the flexibility of neural between the transcendent spirit and the fundamental nature of the associated and did not do enough to account. Therefore, through the inner life of Dr. Angel - Love really reasonable, loving prayer to understand the future, this will be a great breakthrough. John does not actually圣多瑪斯is a continuous search for the real treatment, he lives in order to promote Catholic beliefs for the blog, especially when he wrote "split abnormal Filmography" when he started twice a solemn reminder to readers: "God works in my future role, with God's憐Benjamin, I am confident ... I know this thanks to God." Because the grace of God, because of his name, he is very clear and confident started this project. He is the wise man as this task, but a wise person should be orderly. About the future of Thomas Aquinas, he put all the legal things in mind to nervous, because Christ is the most original and is the essence of all wisdom, and He combined together by the Undertaking we allow him to participate in His wisdom, leaving us to become truly wisdom. Christian life, love and peace constitute the root cause of the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas. This look at the future, the entire management of his life is coming from here, he gazed passion and beliefs, hopes to be derived from the height of the real heavenly wisdom. From this we know that圣多瑪斯because of his faith, love really reasonable, pray love his double passion In order to give inspiration and inspiration. In other words,圣多瑪斯is considered a religious life and teachings of Christ's representative. Coexistence of faith and rational to perfection, this is圣多瑪斯inner life of his contribution to rational living. At the beginning of the Summa Contra Gentiles, St. Thomas twice solemnly reminds the readers of the place of God in his forthcoming enterprise: "In the name of the divine mercy, I have the confidence ... I am aware that I owe this to God ". He is then fully conscious and self-confident that he undertakes this work thanks to God's grace and he does it in His name. In reality he considers this task as of being a wise man. And since the office of a wise man is to put things in order as said the Philosopher, concretely for St. Thomas, it will be to put things in divine order, because Christ is the origin and the sum total of all wisdom and that the union with Him permits us to participate in His wisdom and makes us truly wise. The life in Christ constitutes the ultimate reason for Thomas's wisdom, love and peace. His whole intellectual life is determined and oriented from above. He hopes for and obtains true wisdom from the heavenly heights, toward which his intellect gazes with ardor and faith. In this way, he is a man inspired by religion, by a twofold passion, that is to say by the love of truth and the love of prayer. Put it in another way, St. Thomas is as the voice of the Christian reason living and teaching with faith. In him reigns the parfait coexistence of faith and reason. That is the part of contribution of St. Thomas' interior life to his intellectual life
