The definition of the truth as:'veritas est adaequatio rei et intellectus' is not only a description of the truthfulness but it also defines a certain order ('ordo') of acquiring or contemplating truth. The novelty of Thomas's interpretation is largely to be found in the fact that he unwaveringly views truth in a metaphysical perspective, as a relation of things to some sort of intellect. The relation is epitomized in juxtaposing 'res' and 'intellectus'. By establishing this connection in general terms, he could encompass a broad range of learning or perceiving subject, from a human intellect to God's mind. At the same time, he took a stand in a lively discussion on the nature of truth, which developed in the 13th century, and chose a positon which was comparable to Aristotle's rather than Augustine's, Avicenna's or Anselm's.
