Contemporary society very often asks of individuals and/or
corporate entities that they perform actions connected in some way
with the im moral actions of other individuals or entities.
Typically, in the attempt to determine what would be unacceptable
cooperation with such immoral actions, Christian scholars and
authorities refer to the distinction, which appears in the writings
of Alphonsus Liguori, between material and for mal cooperation, the
latter being connected in some way with the coop erator's intention
in so acting. While expressing agreement with most of Alphonsus's
determinations in these regards, Cooperation with Evil also argues
that the philosophical background to these determinations often
lacks coherence, especially when compared to related passages in
the writings of Thomas Aquinas. Having compared the philosophical
approaches of these two great moralists, Cooperation with Evil then
describes a number of ideas in Thomas's writings that might serve
as more effective tools for the anal ysis of cases of possible
immoral cooperation. The book also includes, as appendixes,
translations of relevant passages in both Alphonsus and Thomas.
