Bøker i Scholastic Editions - Editiones Scholasticae-serien

Contains an investigation of ethics from a scholastic standpoint. The book examines the fundamental theory of action. The author then develops the conceptions of duty and laws as concrete duties. Finally the book examines social ethics as embracing the rights and duties of men in their relations with other men, both as individuals and as groups.

This collection of essays is the result of intersecting two areas of philosophical investigation which are often thought to be widely apart: analytic philosophy and the doctrine of St Thomas Aquinas. The authors breathe new life into old ideas by examining Thomistic theses and arguments by applying the techniques of analytic Philosophy.
