Description

Virtue's End collects nine substantial essays on the nature and relationship of theological commitment to moral theory, practical reason, and the metaphysical framework of Aristotelian ethics. Among the questions explored: What does it mean to know the good? What is the source of moral law? What role does God, or the notion of God, play in practical reasoning and human action? What is the relationship between Aquinas's ethics and Aristotle's? How is friendship with God possible? Can an Aristotelian consider himself a friend of God? / Kevin Flannery -- The divine in Aquinas's commentary on Aristotle's Nicomachean ethics: in what sense can we be good without God? / Christopher Kaczor -- Contemplation as the end of human nature in Aquinas's Sententia libri ethicorum / Antonio Donato -- Aristotle vs. the Neo-Darwinians: human nature and the foundations of ethics / Marie I. George -- The metaphysical presuppositions of natural law in Thomas Aquinas: a new look at some old questions / Anthony J. Lisska -- Knowledge of the good as participation in God's love / Fulvio Di Blasi -- The role of God in Aquinas's ethical thought: can an atheist be moral? / Giacomo Samek Lokovici -- Who made the law? God, ethics, and the law of nature / Robert A. Gahl -- Hierarchy and direction for choice / Daniel McInerny.
