[In the disputed question model], Aquinas is attempting — vicariously, because all these people are not sitting in the Agora with him — to bring various voices into the conversation. And he is always careful to show where each voice grasps the truth, and where it doesn't.
The best way to engage with a rival position is not just to refute it, but to show what is true in it, and then, from the view that results out of that, to give an account of where and why it went wrong. That is the most compelling argument for Aristotle and for Aquinas." —Prof. Thomas Hibbs
