How do we determine whether an action is right or wrong? Until
recently, philosophers assumed that this question could be answered
by means of a theory of morality, which set forth apodictic rules
for moral behaviour. More recently, however, a number of
philosophers have questioned whether there can be a theory of
morality in quite this sense. Jean Porter is sympathetic to their
critiques of moral theories, but questions whether these go far
enough in offering a positive alternative to a modern view of the
moral act. She argues that the work of Aquinas offers an
alternative account of moral rationality, in terms of which moral
reasoning is understood as dialectical rather than deductive, and
questions are resolved in a wider contect of ethical thought. The
Thomist account of the moral virtues and prudence is seen to offer
unexpected insights into the relationship between moral rules and
the practice of the virtues, and so contributes to our own moral
reflection.
