Abstract
Unlike Plato, Aristotle's writings were not translated into Latin and read by Christians until the 13th century. One of the first to pick up his ideas was St. Thomas Aquinas who agreed that human nature is defined by a special purpose or goal. What Aquinas also argued was that this goal was put there by God. According to Aquinas the ultimate purpose of humans is to know God.
