Description
Book SynopsisModern philosophy has long dismissed the traditional moral notion that some actions are inherently good or evil, claiming rather that actions lack clear boundaries and have no set nature, whether good, evil, or anything else. This title tackles the Thomistic debate surrounding the inherent good and evil of human actions.
Trade ReviewAn extraordinarily clear and complete synthesis of the philosophy involved in St. Thomas's understanding of the specification of human acts. Jensen delivers a compact presentation both of Thomas's thought on the topic and of the main current interpretations thereof."--Stephen L. Brock, Professor of Medieval Philosophy, Pontifical University of the Holy Cross
"A significant original contribution to a currently robust conversation in contemporary ethical debates. Jensen offers a novel interpretation of Aquinas's position on how to define an act as good or bad."--Thomas A. Cavanaugh, Professor of Philosophy, University of San Francisco
