A filosofia política de Santo Tomás de Aquino tem por fundamento a unidade, o ente sob forma de transcendental uno, mas evita orientar-se na direção de um centralismo absoluto. O que se prescreve é uma espécie de harmonia ditada pela hierarquia dos fins conhecida e reconhecida em razão da fé, não do príncipe, mas daqueles que lhe legitimam o governo.
Thomas Aquinas was an immensely influential philosopher and theologian in the tradition of scholasticism, known as Doctor Angelicus and Doctor Communis.
He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology, and the father of the Thomistic school of philosophy and theology. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy was conceived as a reaction against, or as an agreement with, his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law and political theory.
The philosophy of Aquinas has exerted enormous influence on subsequent Christian theology, especially that of the Roman Catholic Church, extending to Western philosophy in general, where he stands as a vehicle and modifier of Aristotelianism, which he fused with the thought of Augustine.
