Question

Read the excerpt below. Then, explain why G. K. Chesterton claims that, "St. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps more than he is anything else, is a great anthropologist." Your answer should be at least 150 words.

Answer 1

Chesterton explains how Thomas Aquinas was way ahead of his time in understanding what it means to be human and had a developed a great sense for ontology. He would argue that there are many of his own contemporaries that think and develop their ideas just like Aquinas did. You can use this as a starting point and develop your essay.
