Question

. Which statement BEST describes St. Thomas Aquinas's opinion of Aristotle?

Aristotle's ideas are dangerous because he was a pagan philosopher.
Aristotle's logic can be used to prove the existence of God.
Aristotle would have been a better choice of mentor for Dante's pilgrim than Virgil.
Aristotle lived before the time of Christ so his ideas are too ancient to be valuable to medieval philosophers.

Answer 1

According to the following information, 
 Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), the dominant thinker of the middle ages, combined the science and philosophy of Aristotle with the revealed truths of Christianity. Holding that Aristotelianism is true but is not the whole truth, he reconciled the philosophy of Aristotle with the truth of Christian revelation. Aquinas was a committed disciple of Aristotle but was an even more sincere disciple of the Church. He reconceived Aristotle's ideas to a new context, was able to make distinctions that Aristotle did not formulate, and never hesitated to go beyond Aristotle. The 13th century rediscovery and revival of the corpus of Aristotle's teaching and Aquinas' synthesis of it with the tenets of Christian faith effected a dramatic change in medieval political thought. Through his writings, Aquinas provided a solid bridge from the ancients.

I will support the option B Aristotle's logic can be used to prove the existence of God.
