It 's okay to be an Aristothelic if I am a scientist?

[Archedreamer]

I have thought very much about the correct lies between Earth and Heaven (indeed that has been maybe the strongest motif of my convertion to Catholicism from Baptistism).

I am not sure about the philosophy whom I must identify as a correct Christian. I aim to be a social psychologist… It 's a scientist job, even reason is very important in that. I do not know I I should to practice Aristotelism or Thomism. I think, of course, that Christianity is real, but I dont know if it must have to do anything in my science. Does Thomism says any theological thing whitin his phylosophy? I think the only reason, not faith (neither the believe in a unreal power of reason) must take part at the practice in the natural study… but I don’t know. I would thank very much your help. I am almost all the time as a citizen of the Kingdom of the Ideas and it 's vey important to me to know well the boundaries between natural and celestial world. Also, the reason would move without a thought end or with it?

Also, I would nothing all to lie with psychologies such idealism, materialism… or all those so I would choose Aristothelism. It has also the good thing that it is respected at argentine universities, not like Thomism. (But I would not lie with University if it move against God)

I thank you very much and excuse me by my disordee and my bad english

You need to trace and study the development of Natural Law. It underpins the Catholic Church, framed the development of western civilisation, is found in the Catholic Catechism and can be traced all the way back through Thomas Aquinas to Aristotle. a knowledge of it as a philosophical and ethical base will stand you in good stead all through your life.
