2 Parce qu'il est le premier occidental dont la pensée ne se soit asservie ni à un, dogme, ni à un système. M. Gilson of course refers to philosophical dogmas not to revealed dogmas which were St. Thomas's postulates. For although the argument from authority which is founded on human reason is the weakest of all, the argument which is founded upon divine revelation is the most efficacious. (Summa. Ia, I, 8 ad. 2).
