Human Nature And Life After Death In Thomas Aquinas

Abstract

This paper explores the views of Thomas Aquinas, who was one of the most important Christian theologians and Aristotelian philosophers lived in the Middle Ages, concerning the nature of human being and life after death. Philosophers search for an answer to the question what is the true nature of human being, and consider what is/are the criteri/on/a for human nature. This issue has great significance in determining the possibility and form of life after death as it is also important for human presence in this world. The opinions of Aquinas, whose influence still continues in philosophy and philosophy of religion at present, in these matters have effective to a certain extent. This work will fill a certain gap in this area in this geography
