Explanation:

Although Aristotle was not a religious man, he did acknowledge God as the ultimate entity. He believed that being a decent person was enough of a motivation to be moral. Aquinas thought that one should live a virtuous life since God was guiding him in that direction.

Answer:

What is the difference between Aristotle and Aquinas on the theistic basis of natural laws? Aristotle's god was not a creator god. Aquinas believed that God created the universe according to a plan and thus, so to speak, put into the natures of things their natural orientation.

Aquinas however, believed that God was leading human beings to a rational, moral life, while Aristotle believed that being moral was naturally inherent in human beings.

Aquinas's ethical theory involves both principles – rules about how to act – and virtues – personality traits which are taken to be good or moral to have. ... People trying to use Aquinas to develop a virtue ethics, which challenges the legalistic thinking of analytical philosophy, play up the virtues instead.
