A gift is a thing given willingly to someone without
payment. The adjoining definition of a gift is a natural ability or talent. A benefaction is a gift
or a contribution of an individual who possesses a historical significance because of the individual’s bestowals. Thomas Aquinas is the specific individual that this research will highlight. Saint Thomas Aquinas lived from 1225-1274.
Thomas Aquinas studied at Monte Cassino. However, little is known about his studies here. Aquinas later on moved to the University of Naples before finally
advancing to the University of Paris to complete his studies. Thomas Aquinas focused his studies in the arts of the trivium, and those of the quadrivium. Trivium is a Latin terminology meaning, “the three ways” comprised with the subjects grammar, rhetoric, and logic which were thought first. Following these subjects is the quadrivium, consisting of the arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. These studies constituted the secular education that complemented sacred doctrine that came from the Bible.

Upon hitting demarcation, Thomas Aquinas confronts the problem of being and being’s upward progress. Although many theories have spurred to explain the complexity of being, every related theory is the product of the evolving theory of those that are Aquinas’s. Essentially, the first concept that the intellect conceives is being. All else that follows derives from being. However, because nothing can be added to being due to the fact that everything is already included in being, every encounter of reality essentially becomes a being.
