More specifically, medieval Aristotelianism, um its Tomistic version, provided western thought with the bases upon which modern science was Iberian thinkers in making the Tomistic synthesis possible.||Este artigo mostra que as ligações entre o pensamento medieval e a ciência moderna são muito mais estreitas do que muitos autores tem tratado o tema. Mostra que o aristotelismo medieval, em sua visão tomista, forneceu ao pensamento ocidental as bases sobre as quais se edificou, em começos do século XVII, a ciência moderna. Enfatiza também da importância dos pensadores árabes e ibéricos na preparação da síntese tomista.
