The History of Universities and St. Thomas Aquinas
Posted by Fr. Gabriel Gillen, O.P. on February 02, 2009
The first universities—the University of Paris and the University of Bologna—were founded in the latter half of the 12th century. They were the initiative of the Catholic Church and their model of instruction derived from the monastery, with monks as the first professors. Subjects taught were theology, philosophy, law and medicine. The medieval universities adopted the dialectical method of teaching—which poses a question, considers an anti-thesis and produces a thesis. This formula found its greatest expression in the Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas Aquinas.
