Philosophy / philosophy
English term or phrase: synthesist
Das Wort kommt in folgendem Satz vor: "The next major Christian thinker was Aquinas, the great medieval synthesist who largely shared Augustine's views of the distinctiveness of soul and body, yet also was shaped by the re-introduction of Aristotles into medieval thought.

Ich weiss genau, was synthesist bedeutet, kann aber kein "schönes" deutsches Wort dafür finden. "Vereiniger" klingt unschön, meiner Meinung nach.

Please help!

Explanation:
Wenn es um mittelalterliche Philosophie geht, finde ich Synthetiker gar nicht mal so schlecht. Es waren doch sehr gelehrte Denker und alle Gespräche im Latein.
Wahrig gibt als Synonym für Synthese auch Analyse. Was nicht ganz stimmt.

Oder eine Umschreibung "... der in seinem Denken .... vereinte."
