Aquinas’s Philosophical Commentary on the Ethics A Historical Perspective


Free Download Aquinas’s Philosophical Commentary on the Ethics : A Historical Perspective By James C. Doig (auth.)
2001 | 316 Pages | ISBN: 904815698X | PDF | 12 MB
Is Aquinas’s Sententia libri Ethicorum an interpretation of Aristotle based on `principles of Christian ethics’? Or do we have in that work a presentation of the foundation of Aquinas’s moral philosophy? Professor Doig answers these questions through an examination of the historical context within which the Sententia was composed. In Chapters 1-2, the work’s role as a corrective of earlier commentaries is established. Chapter 3, by examining philosophy at Paris between 1215 and 1283, reveals that the proposal by Aquinas of a moral philosophy would have been unexceptional. Chapter 4’s investigation of the principles underlying the moral theory of the Sententia makes apparent that they were regarded by Aquinas as both philosophical and Aristotelian. The date to be assigned the composition of the Sententia is studied in Chapter 5, and the conclusion is drawn, that with some probability, the Sententia is its author’s final proposal of moral doctrines. The closing Chapter offers a summary of that moral philosophy against the historical background brought out earlier.

Free Download Philosophical Foundation: A Critical Analysis of Basic Beliefs, Second Edition (Audiobook)
English | June 22, 2023 | ASIN: B0C8W93TXQ | M4B@128 kbps | 11h 1m | 601 MB
Author: Surrendra Gangadean | Narrator: Anthony J. Santora
Philosophical Foundation argues for clarity over and against meaninglessness, which is implicit in various forms of skepticism and fideism. Throughout the book, critical analysis is applied to unexamined assumptions in the areas of metaphysics and ethics in order to address long-standing disputes.
The basic beliefs of Western naturalism, eastern idealism, Greek dualism, post-modern anti-realism, and classical theism are incisively analyzed by reason for their coherence of meaning. Those who have questions about knowledge and certainty, faith and reason, the existence of God, and the problem of evil, will find critical insight throughout this study in its use of presuppositional thinking.
