Aquinas' legal pilosophy compared with that of Aristotle or Plato

Aquinas was influenced by these morons ideas of a value existing in the universe. None of these philosophers went beyond their own identities to reveal they don't exist and that their ideas and values are meaningless.

Plato's ideas were already imbedded in the philosophy of the Church by the time Aquinas came around. Augustine did a pretty good job of that.
Aristotle's works had been lost in the West for centuries -- but were brought back to the west just before Aquinas came around. He used them as a basis for much of his own work.
A better question is "How did Aristotle's philosophy influence Jesus." The answer is that Jesus stole the idea of the Golden Rule from Aristotle -- who had published it five centuries earlier.
Perhaps we can apply the legal philosophy of Aquinas to see if Jesus is guilty of plagiarism.
