Action and Conduct: Thomas Aquinas and the Theory of Action
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
Through the works of Thomas Aquinas, Stephen Brock examines the relationship between conduct and physical action, or between the will and the real events which it effects in the world. Few thinkers have devoted more attention to this topic than Aquinas, who has influenced mainstream modern analytic philosophy through, among others, G. E. M. Anscombe, Anthony Kenny, Roderick Chisolm, and the late Alan Donagan. Demonstrating an exhaustive knowledge of Aquinas and contemporary theories of action, professor Brock provides a new interpretation of Aquinas’ thought on human action, and exposes the incoherence of theories which place an exclusive emphasis on the morality of subjective intention.
