Divine
Spark
He believed
every person
has a “divine
spark,” always
connected to
God.
Medieval philosophy mixed Greek
ideas with Christian beliefs, looking
at faith, reason, what God is like,
and how our souls and bodies
connect. People like Aquinas used
logic to bring these ideas together,
and Boethius helped keep Greek
philosophy works. And Augustine
thought about free will and why bad
things happen. Today, it helps us
connect faith and reason, deal with
tough choices, and understand
ourselves better. ideas were mixing
faith and logic, focusing on God,
using logic, and figuring out what it
means to be human.

mystic in the medieval period. He taught
about the “divine spark”within every soul,
the importance of detachment from

In this view,
philosophy
served to
provide a
rational
foundation for
theological
truths, helping
to understand
faith more
deeply.
During the Medieval period, philosophers
studied the relationship between the soul
and the body to explain human nature.
Influenced by Christianity and Greek
philosophy, they believed the soul is the
life-giving principle of a person. St.
Augustine, following Plato, taught that the
soul is eternal, spiritual, and more
important than the body, which is
temporary and tied to earthly desires. In
contrast, St. Thomas Aquinas, influenced
by Aristotle, explained that the soul and
body are united, with the soul acting as the
“form of the body” that gives it life, reason,
and immortality. Both agreed that the soul
survives after death, but Augustine
emphasized the soul’s superiority, while
Aquinas highlighted the unity of body and
soul as what makes a complete human
being.

Free will: Are We Really in Change of
Our Choices?
People do have free will, but it is
limited.
God gave humans free will, so they
could choose between good and evil.
People’s will was damaged after the
first humans disobeyed God, and that
we need God's grace to make truly
good choices.
The Problem of Evil: Why Does God Let
Bad Things Happen?
He explained that evil is not a
substance, It’s just a lack of good.
God created everything good, but
things can become “less good” or
“broken”, which we experience as evil.
Prominent Thinkers: (1225–1274) St. Thomas
Aquinas: Architect of Scholasticism, Master of
Synthesis
He created
five
arguments
to prove
that God
exists (from
motion,
cause,
possibility,
degrees of
perfection,
and
purpose/de
sign).
Faith and reasonare like two
wings on which the human spirit
risesto the contemplation of truth;
and
God hasplaced in the human heart
a desire to know the truth—in a
word, to
know himself—so that, by knowing
and
loving God, men and women may
also come to
the fullnessof truth about
themselves.
