520 1 $a"Although most natural law ethical theories
recognize moral absolutes, there is not much agreement even
among natural law theorists about how to identify them. The
author argues that in order to understand and determine the
morality (or immorality) of a human action, it must be
considered in relation to the organized system of human
practices within which it is performed. Such an approach, he
argues, is to be found in the natural law theory of Thomas
Aquinas, especially once it is recognized that the logical
structure of Aquinas's ethical theory is basically that of
an Aristotelian science." "The book will be useful to
students and scholars interested in ethics, especially from
an Aristotelian and/or Thomistic perspective. One appendix
reproduces the Leonine text of the De malo (question 6),
with facing English translation. Another appendix provides
facing Latin text and English translation of the Summa
Theologiae I-II (question 94, article 2)."--BOOK JACKET.
