A course by Alfred Freddoso at the University of Notre Dame is designed ” to see in some depth the relation among the main elements of St. Thomas’s general moral theory as laid out in the First Part of the Second Part of the Summa Theologiae, viz., the treatises on beatitude, action, passion, habit, virtue, sin, law, and grace, and (b) to explore in more detail certain specific aspects of these treatises.” The distinctions between Aquinas’ moral theory and deontologism and consequentialism are also discussed.
