If you think that then I suggest you go back and look at how Aristotle resolved the dilemma between Parmenides and Heraclitus. We stand on the shoulders of giants and ignore their contributions at out peril.


Standing on shoulders is useful but some are more reliable than others. These ancients are fine in context. But I wouldn't trust the view from atop Aquinas' shoulders.
