>>24548698 (OP) Lads I'm trying to find a latin quote (that is widely used) I think it was by Aquinas, it was something like: the truth follows from the majority, or the crowd of men is right or something like that. It was definitely by a Christian thinker, there were some conservative fags that used it
>>24548698 (OP) He frequently cited and engaged with authoritative texts, including Scripture, the Church Fathers, and classical philosophers like Aristotle, which also contributed to a scholarly and respectful tone.

>>24549944 doesn't sound familiar. there's truth as adequation of intellect and thing (adรฆquatio rei et intellectus), and knowledge as having the thing known be in the knower (dicendum quod sic cognoscere aliquid sicut in cognoscente est).
>>24550035 let the majority be the judge, or something like that. I just saw it on one of those smug conservative organizations (the reagan ones, not zoomer conservatives) or the crowd will decide the truth, something of that sort, it's a famous phrase in latin
>>24550147 No no, I'm 99% sure written by Aquinas. I saw it in a conservative thing and when I googled it Aquinas popped up because I vividly remember thinking huh what does that say about the crowd now no longer being Christian. The crowd knows best or some shit like that

Yeah I was reading the summa theologica in the original latin to my son and had to skip past all swearwords and mentions of sex. Couldn't medieval theologians have made their works family friendly?
>>24550147 >means literally the opposite it doesn't and the singular instance of its usage they are posting literally recognizes how it is actually used and merely disagrees with it
