The Nature of the Practical Intellect according to Saint Thomas Aquinas [Book Review]

Review of Metaphysics 13 (4):703-703 (1960)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Thomistic ethics has sometimes been accused of being excessively rationalistic, impersonal, and a priori. This study attempts to provide textual support from Aquinas for an interpretation which stresses the primacy of conscience, individual responsibility, and the central importance of the virtue of prudence. The doctrine seems timely and suggestive, but the author's decision to write in scholastic jargon limits the effectiveness of this book for the uninitiated.--D. D. O.
