Conscience: Aquinas — with a hint of Aristotle
Sophia 40 (2) (2001)
| Abstract | The paper presents Aquinas’s account of conscience, and argues that key elements of this account are key elements too of Aristotle’s moral theory. The paper’s purpose is to encourage debate over conscience as not only a Stoic/Christian concept but one with deeper— and more widespread—roots in western ethical tradition. | |||||||||
