Thomas Aquinas was one of the most influential scholars and theologians of the Middle Ages. His various works, including his great treatise, Summa Theologica, had an immense influence on the development of political theory, philosophy, and law. In many respects, he must be given a place next to Aristotle and Plato in the pantheon of great philosophers. Aquinas has been the subject of countless biographies and his works have been published and republished both in the original Latin and in translations for centuries.
