# Falah Cast — Thomas Aquinas — Published

**Title:** Thomas Aquinas: What Latin Europe Owed to Ibn Rushd — and Where It Broke Away
**Live:** https://iqra.falahos.my/thomas-aquinas-what-latin-europe-owed-to-ibn-rushd-and-where-it-broke-away/

## Series arc note
Deduplicated the real episode history off Ghost directly (tag: falah-cast) — the actual
arc order, after removing duplicate re-publishes, runs: Faraid -> Ibn Arabi -> Hang Tuah
-> Al-Mawardi -> Ibn Khaldun -> Rumi -> Sejarah Melayu -> al-Farabi/Madinah ->
Ibn Ata'illah -> al-Ghazali -> Ibn Rushd -> Maimonides -> **Thomas Aquinas** (this episode).

This closes the "shared Mediterranean mind" triangle (Ibn Rushd / Maimonides / Aquinas).
Framed deliberately to avoid centering Aquinas as the hero — real intellectual debt
(via Ibn Rushd's commentaries, "the Commentator") alongside real disagreement
(unity of the intellect, eternity of the world).

## New 6-week plan (agreed with product owner, "shifa" = Ibn Sina's Kitab al-Shifa gets its own mini-arc)
- Week 1: Thomas Aquinas (done, this post), Ibn Sina — who was he (bio)
- Week 2: Al-Shifa — The Flying Man, Al-Shifa — Essence and Existence
- Week 3: Al-Shifa — The Medicine Half, Al-Kindi
- Week 4: Al-Razi, Hamzah Fansuri
- Week 5: Nuruddin al-Raniri, Mulla Sadra
- Week 6: Muhammad Iqbal (finale)
