Metaphysical Character of Thomas Aquinas’ Moral Theology as It Is Related to Moral Judgement
Original language description
Moral theology of Thomas Aquinas is constituted on the metaphysical foundations that make a right moral judgment possible. These foundations are based on the understanding of evil as privation of a certain good which is required by nature of a specific human action. The aim of this article is to present how a choice of certain actions involves a movement toward the good which is its end. Normally, the choice includes a selection of appropriate means in order to achieve a desired end. The virtues (especially prudence) are necessary for a right choice of action, judged according to the particular circumstances and dispositions of the agent, and made with unavoidable knowledge of the hierarchy of natural ends. The existence of this hierarchy, even without knowing it by an agent, necessarily orients any natural being to determinate ends by means, which are naturally predetermined. This order of ends is per se non-variable and therefore non-deliberative and arises once again from the nature of subjects. Right moral judgment follows a careful consideration of the object of a human act. In the judgment of conscience which precedes judgment of election, the acting person applies all available knowledge to evaluate the morality of an act.
