What Aristotle began in ancient Greece, Thomas Aquinas developed in 13th-century Italy, and Ayn Rand redefined in the 20th century. In this episode, we explore the intellectual lineage that connects these three titans of philosophy, as discussed in Roberto Rachewsky’s book The Greek, the Friar, and the Heroine.
Far from being isolated figures, these thinkers are shown as part of a continuous philosophical evolution. We examine how Aristotelian reason survived the centuries, shaped Christian thought through Aquinas, and was reignited by Rand’s Objectivism into a powerful, integrated defense of reality, logic, and individual freedom. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned thinker, this conversation offers clarity, context, and inspiration.
