Resolution: Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) – Thomism Aristotelian • Matter and form cannot exist separately • Lower forms of existence always evolve toward higher • All movement is toward perfection – God • All represented by Triangles • God – Unmoved Mover • Five Proofs of God’s Existence • Answer to “Battle” – Form exists BEFORE, IN and AFTER Physical substance • Theology (revelation) + Philosophy (reason) compliment each other – both are necessary • Unlike Augustine • Both Body and Soul are necessary for earthly perfection
