I have studied Aristotle's works and theories and philosophical teachings. Basically St. Thomas' works as a Philosopher was also based on Aristotelean's teachings. They both conform in approving the truth and disapproving the false. Aristotle's theories are conclusive with generalizations, whereas St. Thomas' are inductive and deductive. St. Thomas refutes that arguments from authority are of secondary importance;philosophy does not consist of what man said but in knowing the truth. His work 'Summa Theologia' was his greatest work that immortalized him. We all know by now that he pioneered the Order of Preaches and he is patron saint to most Univ colleges and schhools. He was my Univ.s patron Saint.Though St Thomas adapted to the teachings of Aristotle, I don't think that there is a relevant correlation of their theories. In Aristotle's practical philosophy which includes ethics and politics,it says that man's happiness is determined the end or purpose of his existence, in other words, happiness that consist of good proper rational to his nature. His happiness therefore must consist a reason that is living a life of virtue. Moral virtue is defined as a certain habit of the faculty of choice consisting in a mean suitable for our fixed reason. Virtue is the perfection of reason Both philosophers differ with their teachings in logic and theoritical, and practical philosophy.

That research is a bit more than what a PhD degree would require. Maybe yahoo answers is not the proper place to look.
