Aquinas's discussions of moral issues are extensive, and range
well beyond the narrowly defined set of issues in the modern
tradition of moral philosophy. This volume explores the ethical
dimensions of a wide selection of philosophical and theological
topics in Aquinas's texts. It covers topics central to ethics, such
as happiness, moral virtue, and natural law, as well as related
topics pertaining to the metaphysical basis of Aquinas's account of
goodness, the ramifications of his ethical concerns for his
philosophy of language, and the significance of his philosophical
psychology for his ethics.
The volume is divided into three sections focusing,
respectively, on issues concerning moral theory and moral theology,
moral psychology and practical reason, and moral theory in
philosophy of language and metaphysics. The authors distinguished
scholars of medieval philosophy bring to these issues a variety of
approaches and viewpoints. By creatively sampling the breadth of
Aquinas's reflections on ethical issues and exploring some of the
significant connections that tie his moral thought to other parts
of his philosophical and theological system, they display the
richness and depth of Aquinas's moral thinking.
