{"product_id":"aquinass-philosophical-commentary-on-the-j-c-doig-9780792369547","title":"Aquinas's Philosophical Commentary on the Ethics: A Historical Perspective","description":"Is Aquinas's \u003cem\u003eSententia libri Ethicorum\u003c\/em\u003e an interpretation of Aristotle based on  principles of Christian ethics'? Or do we have in that work a presentation of the foundation of Aquinas's moral philosophy? Professor Doig answers these questions through an examination of the historical context within which the \u003cem\u003eSententia\u003c\/em\u003e was composed. \u003cbr\u003e In Chapters 1-2, the work's role as a corrective of earlier commentaries is established. Chapter 3, by examining philosophy at Paris between 1215 and 1283, reveals that the proposal by Aquinas of a moral philosophy would have been unexceptional. Chapter 4's investigation of the principles underlying the moral theory of the \u003cem\u003eSententia\u003c\/em\u003e makes apparent that they were regarded by Aquinas as both philosophical and Aristotelian. The date to be assigned the composition of the \u003cem\u003eSententia\u003c\/em\u003e is studied in Chapter 5, and the conclusion is drawn, that with some probability, the \u003cem\u003eSententia\u003c\/em\u003e is its author's final proposal of moral doctrines. The closing Chapter offers a summary of that moral philosophy against the historical background brought out earlier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J. C.
