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.
