The Foundations of Wisdom: Ethics (Textbook)

How can we live genuinely well? Can philosophy teach us how to be happy? In today's world, the Church's philosophy of what it is to be human and how to behave serves as the logical conclusion and climax of all her theological and holy religious truths. But if we don't understand why we should act well in the light of natural reason, explaining why we should act in a certain way in the light of supernatural revelation will be even more difficult.  In summary, the Church's philosophical theory of ethics may be the most essential thing to study today, and therefore it concludes our Foundations of Wisdom series. 

The teachings of Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas are covered in Ethics, which demonstrates how living a life according to the Church's perennial philosophy not only is not contrary to reason, but also leads to the culmination of what reason was made for: the perfection of the human person, serving as a vehicle for beatitude. In this fourth and final volume of The Foundations of Wisdom, you will understand the Church's teaching that the human person should act in accordance with natural reason by delving into Saint Thomas' teachings and seeing how natural reason harmonizes with Holy Mother Church's ethics. Learn how God created us to know Him and see His mark in all of creation to gain a deeper understanding of our very selves. Finally, comprehend the path to pleasure that God has created for us via His Church in order to accomplish our ultimate goal: everlasting beatitude through unity with God.
