Morality (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161507300)

""Morality"" by St. Thomas Aquinas is a philosophical treatise that explores the nature of morality and ethical decision-making. Aquinas, a prominent theologian and philosopher of the medieval period, draws on his extensive knowledge of Christian theology and Aristotelian philosophy to develop a comprehensive theory of morality.The book is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the nature of morality and the various factors that contribute to ethical decision-making. Aquinas argues that morality is rooted in the nature of God and that ethical behavior is grounded in the pursuit of the ultimate good. He also explores the role of reason, virtue, and free will in shaping moral behavior.The second part of the book delves into specific ethical issues, such as the nature of justice, the ethics of war and peace, and the role of the state in promoting the common good. Aquinas draws on a range of sources, including Scripture, classical philosophy, and contemporary debates, to offer a nuanced and insightful analysis of these complex issues.Overall, ""Morality"" is a thought-provoking and challenging work that continues to be widely read and studied by scholars and students of philosophy and theology. It offers a rich and nuanced perspective on the nature of morality and the ethical challenges that confront us in our daily lives.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Thomas Aquinas Philosophical Texts, by St. Thomas Aquinas .
