The main goal of this seminar is to elucidate the notion of morality and moral agency in  Thomas Aquinas, who provided perhaps the most sophisticated moral theory of all medieval thinkers. The interpretation of Aquinas's moral theory is controversial, we will draw especially on the works of Germain Grisez and John Finnis. Additional goal of this seminar is to consider the applicability of Aquinas-Grisez's account of morality in some emerging subfields of ethics.
