Summary
Cutting through contemporary confusions with his characteristic rigor and aplomb, Steven A. Long offers the most penetrating study available of St. Thomas Aquinas’s doctrine of the intention, choice, object, end, and species of the moral act. Many studies of human action and morality after Descartes and Kant have suffered from a tendency to split body and soul, so that the intention of the human spirit comes to justify whatever the body is made to do.

Critics Review
“This is a book of unusual importance. It spells out in Thomistic terms what it is for someone to act and how it is that actions can be evaluated. It is failure at this elementary point that vitiates much contemporary moral discussion. Long supplies exactly what is needed to get things right and to understand why the notion of double effect has been so badly misused. It is very good news that a Second Edition is to be published.” —Alasdair MacIntyre
