Tomás de Aquino was a priest and a great philosopher, being the greatest representative of Escolastica, where he divided his studies between Aristotelian philosophy and Christian theology. He was very attached to the ethical issues that developed in the society in which he lived and always tried to reconcile logic with religion. For example, he believed that mental illness was a disease sent from the heavens, that is, he believed that there was a divine purpose in this type of illness and therefore, the patients did not need to be treated.
