Description
Thomas Aquinas' work on virtue offers a comprehensive account of growth in virtue, a subject often overlooked in contemporary literature. In "Growing in Virtue", William C. Mattison provides a detailed analysis of habits, including their nature, necessity, and role in virtue formation.
Mattison explores the distinction between natural and graced virtues, as well as the role of custom, virtuous passions, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in shaping moral life. He also addresses the possibility of coexistence between acquired and infused virtues in individuals.
For scholars and readers interested in philosophical virtue ethics and theological ethics, Mattison's work offers compelling arguments explicitly connected to contemporary scholarship.
