For those who prefer to listen to books, I recommend Dr Kteeft's lecture series on Audible. The philosophy of TA , the modern scholar series. Read by himself. I'm a scientist, not at all a philosopher, and can get this. God bless Peter Kreeft!
I never learned philosophy growing up. I think I heard it when we listened to the depths of our faith and thought about it. But as far as taking classes or learning about it in another way, I never did. So I would say when I was in my 40s and 50s, I found it fascinating to listen to things that were philosophical. So I did, and then I loved it. And then I started to read Peter Kreeft’s books and that was awesome. And I would do so in my search for closeness to the Lord Jesus Christ, our savior. I listened to those philosophers. They brought me deeper and higher, and brought me closer to the Lord. So that was just part of what I figured would happen, because when I did I wanted more and I don’t think there’s any other reason. These discussions just make us think. I love listening to people discussing things because I learn from them even if they’re not 100% accurate it makes me think. So I appreciate that very much.
Aquinas wasn't a philosopher: he wss an apologist. The Founders believed in natural law rooted in nature. The world had abandoned scholasticism by 1700 in favor of the scientific inquiry. Aquinas was to natural lsw what Ptolemy was to astronomy.

I like this idea of philosophy being practiced in a community. I got a lot from this interview! Thank you and Dr. Kreeft.
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment :)

Jesus was the logos of God himself. He our teacher in his parables
Come remind unto a little child born "i" longing to learn. Sitteth
Remember all thy names nought in front!
What is God nor who is GOD?

Aquinas was an intellectual powerhouse, but he was definitely not one of the greatest philosophers of all time.
Why? Nor all the GODS OF MEN?
