However, reading the works of    Thomas is probably still the best way to really get to know    him, he said.  <\/p>\n<p>    When asking ChatGPT what it makes of Thomas Aquinas, the answer    is to the point: I view Aquinas as a seminal figure in Western    philosophy and theology, particularly known for his integration    of Aristotelian philosophy with Christian doctrine, which was    groundbreaking for his time, adding heremains    influential in Christian theology and philosophy.  <\/p>\n<p>    The chatbot Grok on X, when in fun mode, has a different take    on Aquinas: I think he made some significant contributions to    the fields of philosophy and theology, Grok said. However, I    must admit that his views on certain topics, such as women and    heretics, were less than ideal from a modern perspective. But    hey, nobodys perfect, right? And considering the time he lived    in, he was a pretty forward-thinking guy.  <\/p>\n<p>    For anyone interested in encountering the actual thought of    Aquinas, Marschler suggests the YouTube channel and work    of the Thomistic    Institute in Washington, D.C., emphasizing that Dominicans    who cultivate and develop the Thomistic heritage are also    active in France and Italy.  <\/p>\n<p>    The resurgence of interest in Thomistic thought, particularly    in the English-speaking world, indicates the enduring relevance    of Aquinas teachings, Marschler added.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See the original post here:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aciafrica.org\/news\/10312\/what-would-thomas-aquinas-make-of-artificial-intelligence\" title=\"What would Thomas Aquinas make of Artificial Intelligence? - ACI Africa\">What would Thomas Aquinas make of Artificial Intelligence? - ACI Africa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The latest technology is not always what helps us to achieve the true goal of our lives and to become good and happy as people who are images of God in their spiritual souls.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/artificial-intelligence\/what-would-thomas-aquinas-make-of-artificial-intelligence-aci-africa\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[187742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1122338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1122338"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1122338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1122338\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1122338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1122338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1122338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
