Taking as its place to begin Aquinas's ignored definition of advantage by way of its "causes," this booklet bargains a scientific research of Aquinas at the nature, genesis, and function of advantage in human life.

With an method that's distinctively theological but strongly conversant with philosophy, this examine will supply experts a daring new interpretation of Aquinas’s advantage thought whereas giving scholars a scientific creation with advised readings from his Summa Theologiae and at the Virtues.
