The Ominous Parallels by Leonard Peikoff

Chapter 5 pg 101

"Since the golden age of Greece, there has only been one era of reason in 23 centuries of Western philosophy. During the final decades of that era, the United States of America was created as an independent nation. This is the key to the country-to its nature, its development, and its uniqueness: the United States is the nation of the enlightenment.

Thomas Aquinas's reintroduction of Aristotelianism was the begining-the beginning of the end of medieval period, the beginning to the era of reason.

The renaissance carried Aquinas achievement further."


The chapter continues This would be good for
Bush to answer " what is the greatness of America"
