Aquinas's Philosophy of Truth and Goodness
Aquinas's philosophy emphasizes the interrelation of the true and the good, with every good being true. This concept lies at the core of his transcendental philosophy, where truth, goodness, and beauty are interconnected. Understanding how truth is contained in good and vice versa, and both in being, is crucial for Aristotelian practical truth.
