Aquinas on Imitation of Nature highlights and explores the doctrine
of the imitation of nature, a crucial aspect of Aquinas' metaethics
and fills the gap in research on Aquinas' moral doctrine and theory
of action. It conveys Aquinas' doctrine of the imitation of nature
as a natural feature of right practical reason regarding moral
thinking and action, indeed as an indispensable feature of virtuous
flourishing in individual and communal aspects of human life. The
book starts with an overview of some of recent interpretations of
Aquinas' moral doctrine and natural law, introducing the need to
explore the role of the imitation of nature in human practical
reasoning and action in this area of Aquinas' teaching. The
chapters that follow are based on a careful reading of selected
texts of Aquinas, and gradually develop a thorough and
comprehensive picture of his doctrine of the imitation of nature as
a source of practical principles. The final chapter provides
various examples of how Aquinas understands the imitation of nature
in the realm of moral reasoning and action. The originality of this
volume comes from its account of Aquinas' medieval doctrine of the
imitation of nature, in light of which the principles of right
practical reason and virtuous action are congruent with and
epistemologically dependant upon the basic terms of the movements
of natural, sensible, non-rational agents. Through its thorough
reading of Aquinas on the imitation of nature, the book aims to
open new ways of appropriation of the metaphysical and natural
tenets of his moral doctrine in the areas of theory of action,
practical reason, natural law, and contemporary virtue ethics.
