A Jesuit’s systematic treatment of ethics on the lines of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. Rickaby moves from happiness and the nature of human acts through the duties of the individual to natural law, arguing point by point against the utilitarians and other modern schools, and this text follows the revised fourth edition of 1918.
A clear statement of the Thomist moral tradition for anyone studying natural-law ethics or Catholic thought. Download the free EPUB.
