Abstract
From Library Journal: Basing himself on Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, but also making extensive use of modern psychologists, particularly Freud, Ple develops a theory of morality in the Catholic Christian tradition. In the first part he discusses the historical shift from a morality based on pleasure and happiness to one based on duty. Then, because he considers modern ethics "barely Christian," he develops an ethics based on a proper understanding of pleasure.
