Good Intentions and Bad Actions: Thomas Aquinas on the Intention in our Acting

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

What is a proper place of intention in the morality of an action? How is it related to the object of our acting? In this regard, some current theologians would like to see the double effect doctrine as a magic solution to avoid the interdiction of negative moral absolutes. St. Thomas with his clear scholastic thinking brings right order in fundamental moral considerations. He introduces an act having two effects, only one of which is intended, while the other is beside intention. The latter could be properly called “just chosen,” rather than intended. We must avoid any kind of angelism that emphasizes too much the role of intention in human acting. The substantial aspect of the act, the physical character of what is done, cannot be excluded. Otherwise, in order to change the nature of the object of one and the same act it would be enough just to change our description. Even the double effect principle is just a special case of the application of the teleological construction of a human action.
