| Contents |
Thomas and his outsiders -- God, good, and the desire of all things -- The perfection of habit -- Pagan virtue : perfect, unified, and true -- "The virtue of many gentiles" -- Boundaries and ends -- Honest goods -- Infidelitas and final end conceptions -- Sin and the limits of virtue -- The other face of grace |
| Summary |
David Decosimo examines Thomas Aquinas's conception of 'pagan virtue' - of whether non-Christians or those without grace can lead truly virtuous lives - and explains how that vision relates to the substance of his ethics and his way of doing moral theology. Sketching a vision for Thomas's ongoing significance for religious and political life that it calls 'prophetic Thomism', the book offers a new vision of his synthesis, an interpretation of his ethics, and a constructive proposal for welcoming outsider virtue without abandoning one's own commitments |
