Full textCatholic moral philosophers and theologians for centuries used Thomas Aquinas's defense of the death penalty as a point of reference in defending the state's right to execute. Recent Church documents such as Evangelium Vitae, however, seem to take a different approach to the question than Aquinas did. In secular contemporary treatments of the death penalty, Aquinas's account is often caricatured or simply overlooked. One of the reasons for this is the lack of a thorough treatment of the death penalty in the thought of Aquinas. This dissertation seeks to address that deficiency. I present Aquinas's account of capital punishment as an example of determining civil punishments through the exercise of practical reason. Aquinas's thought sanctions neither an absolute acceptance nor an absolute rejection of the death penalty; for him, this is not a question that admits of absolutes. Like other punishments, the death penalty is a determination made by human reason. Its justification depends on specific historical and cultural circumstances and on the needs of the political community, as well as on the severity of the offense. Killing a guilty person is not intrinsically evil, in Aquinas's view, but it is nonetheless a last resort, when nothing else can be done for the good of the community. It may be that recent Church documents have avoided making use of the Thomistic teaching on the death penalty, even where this could have made their reasoning clearer, for fear that such arguments would be misunderstood, or in order to make a clearer case for forgoing the penalty. If this dissertation contributes to our understanding of what Thomas actually says about CP, it will be helpful in reconciling the thought of John Paul II with the tradition of Catholic thought on capital punishment, as well as in offering a reasonable way for thinking about punishments in general

Full textO estudo visa mostrar a natureza da metáfora, e em particular seu valor especulativo e fundamento ontológico (ou ontologia implícita) para Santo Tomás de Aquino e Paul Ricoeur, realizando uma comparação entre as duas concepções. Em um primeiro momento, é apresentada a concepção tomista da metáfora, através do recurso a quatro intérpretes do Aquinate (Penido, McInerny, Cruz e Duffy). Em um segundo momento é apresentada a concepção de Paul Ricoeur, especialmente em A metáfora viva. Na parte final do trabalho, são comparadas a incorporação da imagem no discurso especulativo (valor especulativo da metáfora) e a relação metáfora-ontologia (fundamento ontológico da metáfora) nos dois autores.
The study aims at showing the nature of metaphor, particularly its speculative value and its ontological foundation (or implicit ontology), for Saint Thomas Aquinas and Paul Ricoeur, making a comparison between both conceptions. In a first moment, Aquinas` conception of metaphor is presented, recurring to four interpreters (Penido, McInerny, Cruz and Duffy). In a second moment, Ricoeur`s conception of metaphor is displayed, especially as presented in The living metaphor. In the final part of the work, the incorporation of image in speculative discourse (speculative value of metaphor) and the relation metaphor-ontology (ontological foundation of metaphor) in both authors are compared.

Full textAustin, Nicholas Owen. "Thomas Aquinas on the Four Causes of Temperance." Thesis, Boston College, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/3742.
Full textThis dissertation aims to give a theoretical account of the cardinal virtue of temperance that portrays it as an attractive (albeit demanding) virtue, and provides the justification and method for applying it to multiple spheres of life today. To this end, it offers a critical interpretation and retrieval of Saint Thomas Aquinas' account of the four causes of temperantia in the Summa Theologiae. I claim that, for Thomas, the four causes of a moral virtue are its mode (formal cause), matter and subject (material cause), proper end (final cause) and agent (efficient cause). Less technically, they can be expressed in terms of five guiding questions to be used in understanding any given virtue: What is the practical wisdom actualized by that virtue? What is the sphere of life with which the virtue is concerned? What aspect of the human heart and mind does the virtue modify? What is the virtue for? What causes the virtue to exist and increase? To answer to these five questions is to give an account of a moral virtue. This dissertation develops and applies this causal method for analyzing a moral virtue, both as a means of interpreting Thomas' account of temperance, and as a tool for constructing a theory of temperance for today. Temperance, I claim, can be defined as the modulation of attraction for the sake of right relationship. It is developed through both discipline and grace. Temperance does not repress desire, but forms and channels its positively, placing it at the service of right relationship to oneself, others, the earth and God. It does limit and restrain desire, but always for the sake of deeper and more meaningful goods. Temperance therefore modulates harmoniously between the restraint and the redirection of desire, the fast and the feast. Temperance is often misunderstood as proposing a purely negative ideal of repression and constraint. The dissertation claims that, on the contrary, temperance is a positive and attractive virtue, and one that is urgently needed in consumer society

Full textThis work aims to initiate a comprehensive and definitive account of St. Thomas Aquinas' doctrine of the principle of the individuation of substances of a common species, which adds some sort of "quantity" or "dimensions" to the Aristotelian account of matter as the principle of individuation. After laying out the interpretative problem in its entirety through a review of the Scholastic and modern traditions of commentary, I determine the first step on the path to its solution, and take that first step by offering a properly limited interpretation of the account set forth in Question 4, article 2 of the Expositio super librum Boethii De trinitate. I argue that this text presents a sapiential metaphysical account of the principle of individuation informed by a properly metaphysical understanding which it leaves implicit. St. Thomas resolves the ratio of the numerically individual composite substance of a species as apprehended by the logician to its first per se principle, defined as "matter under dimensiones interminatae." As individuating, the dimensiones interminatae do not belong to the accidental category of quantity, but are merely a dimensional continuum, a certain composite of a potency--the parts of dimensions, which can be united or divided--and the unifying act of situs, the "order of the parts in the whole," or beginning-middle-end structure, by virtue of which the dimensions possess in themselves the ratio of the numerical individual. In each of these respects, the dimensions qualify the potency of the matter subject to them. Qua potency, the dimensiones interminatae qualify matter's intrinsic potency for unity with form in the substance as a whole by restricting its scope in the real order. Qua act, they qualify this complex restricted potency in a merely rational manner, rendering its restricting potency (i.e., that of the dimensional parts for situs) actual, and thus they make the complex restricted potency of matter intelligible, possessed of the ratio of the numerical individual. Accordingly, matter under dimensiones interminatae is this (and not that) matter, one unified principle belonging to the category of substance. In the properly metaphysical understanding of individuation which underlies the explicit account given in Question 4, article 2 of the Expositio, matter is understood as the potency for the corruptibly contingent mode of the act of substantial existence. Being subjected to the restricting potency of the dimensiones interminatae renders matter thus considered a principle of contingency, in the real order, in respect of divisibility. As before, this complex restricted potency is rendered partially actual in the rational order, and thus the ground of the ratio of the numerically individual substance qua being, by the dimensiones interminatae according to the act of situs. In this way, matter is constituted as this matter, this potency for the corruptibly contingent mode of existence, and not that matter--or in other words, it is constituted as numerically individual matter, the first per se principle of individuation

Full textEl presente trabajo se ha propuesto investigar la Terapia EMDR a la luz de la obra de Santo Tomás de Aquino, siguiendo una triple aproximación: antropológica, teórica y práctica. La limitada concepción del ser humano que subyace al modelo EMDR contrasta con una teoría que contiene importantes aciertos, pero sobre todo, con una propuesta psicoterapéutica que demuestra un profundo conocimiento de la naturaleza humana. La psicología tomista ofrece una nueva manera de comprender la Estimulación Bilateral, el Modelo SPIA y el Protocolo Estándar. Esto permite fundamentar la práctica EMDR en un sólido cuerpo de conocimiento tradicional. Además, pone esta maravillosa herramienta en manos de quienes desean basar su labor terapéutica en la antropología del Aquinate. El análisis de la Terapia EMDR ilumina un modo concreto de aterrizar la doctrina de Santo Tomás en el contexto de la práctica psicológica, lo que sugiere que es posible idear un modelo de psicoterapia basado íntegramente en la obra del Doctor Humanitas.
The present work has been proposed to investigate the EMDR therapy in the light of the work of Saint Thomas Aquinas, following a triple approach: anthropological, theoretical and practical. The limited conception of the human being that underlies the EMDR model contrasts with a theory that contains important successes, but above all, with a psychotherapeutic proposal that demonstrates a deep knowledge of human nature. Thomist psychology offers a new way of understanding Bilateral Stimulation, the SPIA Model and the Standard Protocol. This allows EMDR practice to be based on a solid body of traditional knowledge. In addition, it puts this wonderful tool in the hands of those who wish to base their therapeutic work on the anthropology of Aquinas. The analysis of EMDR Therapy illuminates a concrete way of landing the doctrine of St. Thomas in the context of psychological practice, suggesting that it is possible to develop a model of psychotherapy based entirely on the work of Doctor Humanitas.
