On Law, Morality, and Politics

Perfect for presenting the core of St. Thomas'' teachings on law, morality, and politics.--Charles E. Butterworth, University of Maryland

The best available selection of texts for the study of Aquinas'' natural law doctrine.--Alfonso Gomez-Lobo, Georgetown University

The second edition of Aquinas, On Law, Morality, and Politicsretains the selection of texts presented in the first edition but offers them in new translations by Richard J. Regan--including that of his Aquinas, Treatise on Law (Hackett, 2000). A revised Introduction and glossary, an updated select bibliography, and the inclusion of summarizing headnotes for each of the units--Conscience, Law, Justice, Property, War and Killing, Obedience and Rebellion, and Practical Wisdom and Statecraft—further enhance its usefulness.
