Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is the text which had the single
greatest influence on Aquinas's ethical writings, and the
historical and philosophical value of Aquinas's appropriation of
this text provokes lively debate. In this volume of new essays,
thirteen distinguished scholars explore how Aquinas receives,
expands on, and transforms Aristotle's insights about the
attainability of happiness, the scope of moral virtue, the
foundation of morality, and the nature of pleasure. They examine
Aquinas's commentary on the Ethics and his theological writings,
above all the Summa theologiae. Their essays show Aquinas to be a
highly perceptive interpreter, but one who also who also brings
certain presuppositions to the Ethics and alters key Aristotelian
notions for his own purposes. The result is a rich and nuanced
picture of Aquinas's relation to Aristotle that will be of interest
to readers in moral philosophy, Aquinas studies, the history of
theology, and the history of philosophy.
