Description
Readings on Virtue, Law, and Politics offers direct access to Thomas Aquinas's main arguments on ethics and politics. This carefully selected collection of passages provides insight into his views on human nature, psychology, happiness, virtue, natural law, human law, the political regime, and justice.
Aquinas's work is notable for its synthesis of theological wisdom from the earliest Christian centuries with the philosophical heritage of ancient Greece. By examining his thoughts on these topics, readers can gain a deeper understanding of his influential ideas on politics, culture, and law.
