Yes, you are right; I was giving the simplified version as I understood it.
But there was a certain defense of Aristotle as though he were some kind of pagan prophet among some of the early scholastics, at least as I recall from this end of so many years ago reading it.
Thansk for the correction.
You are thinking of the defense of Arisotle's approach to reason and logic raised by Thomas Aquinas, who believed that, despite the fact that he was a pagan, much of what Aristotle taught was consistent with Natural Law and therefore of value to Christians in understanding the world and human nature
