St. Thomas Aquinas: Vague Definition Of Common Good, Justice And Virtue
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. St. Thomas Aquinas espoused his propensity towards good will, justice and virtue as being the primary components of one's journey on this earth. He cited myriad reasons why this is to be so, as well as postulated that those who do not follow such a patch of righteousness were not living up to their full spiritual potential. However, there exists debate as to whether or not the philosopher's vague definitions of common good, justice and virtue were nothing more than loopholes for his argument. What, then, did Aquinas mean? Was he not earnest in his conjecture? Indeed he was, and it is with great significance that his theories contributed to the historical study of humankind.
