Goodness and rightness in Thomas Aquinas's Summa theologiae

Description:

Pursues the question whether Thomas was at all familiar in his writings with today's commonly known distinction, whether he used other terminology in order to make this distinction, or whether he -- instead of being interested in the contemporary distinction -- was engrossed perhaps with a parallel one. With good reason, the author limits his inquiry to Aquinas' Summa Theologiae. He does it with the most exacting precision and great sensitivity. His work gives new impetus to the contemporary discussion about "good" and "right".
