Answer in a brief essay of one or two paragraphs. OPTION 3: Explain Aquinas’ theory of knowledge acquisition (i.e., epistemology) and the extent to which you agree or disagree with it. Answer in a brief essay of one or two paragraphs. Thomas Aquinas was a remarkable philosopher who became widely known during medieval times. He developed a theory of knowledge acquisition that was derived from scholasticism. Aquinas' epistemology was in²uenced by Aristotle, and his theory is compatible with Christianity because he justi±es faith with reasoning. He recognized that religion and divine messages could teach us but also believed that we acquired knowledge through our senses. One position of Aquinas’ theory that I agree with is that of his belief in the importance of a divine revelation. Thomas Aquinas's theory differs from current education theory as it intertwines religion with education, something that we are strongly discouraged from in present times. He stated that our senses intake the information of the world around us and then we turn that observation into knowledge through our own intellect. In current education theory, we depend on scienti±c reasoning and data and completely disregard religion. Whereas Aquinas believed that this revelation would allow us to garner profound truths that we mylu.lib lumni/r mni Ref n? o.liberty. iberty.e canvas.l w.libert erty.edu /course rse Regi email.li ency- Alerts (ht .edu/fc Fina Initiative /liber- acesoftw service- IT Help (https://w w.libert SO/jum mp Forwa rtycham L berty.ele enters/1 watch.lib erty.edu y.edu/ad Mas w.libert mand.tra

might not otherwise reach with reasoning alone. His theory of knowledge acquisition was unique, and even though religion is a currently prohibited topic, the main themes of his ideas can still be used. Those would be the proposition of assimilating multiple avenues of learning and the emphasis on observation and understanding of the natural world. These ideas can still be portrayed within current education, with the omission of a higher deity.
