Aquinas on Usury 1 The idea of lending money at a cost or interest rate has been a concept that has been around for centuries. St Thomas Aquinas was an early Western philosopher who is acclaimed to be the thought of much of the catholic churches teachings today. Aquinas was against the notion of lending money at interest for various reasons. Following the catholic view on usury often leads to an association with greed and exploiting the person in need of the loan. In today’s society usury is almost

Reference 6 Introduction Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) wrote about many virtues. In particular he wrote about “temperance‚ prudence‚ fortitude‚ and justice” (p 5). He wrote that he believed justice was the highest virtue and explained what justice was and why he believed justice to be the highest virtue. Aquinas (1225-1274) explained that virtues are behaviours. Virtues‚ other than justice‚ are self-serving‚ focusing only on one aspect of virtuous behavior. Aquinas (1225-1274) believed that justice

This didn’t sit well with Socrates. He wanted as many people to know about his knowledge as possible because he had found scientific reasoning as to why his way was true‚ rather than simply because government officials say it is. This strikes up multiple cases of irony from Socrates’s turn from natural philosophy to what eventually becomes what we know today as political philosophy. The first bit of irony arises from the fact that Socrates is actually writing to more than one audience‚ and also that

have been attempting to understand the complexities of the human soul. In Confessions‚ Augustine depicts the well-ordered soul in terms of conversion to Roman Catholic Christianity. For Augustine‚ the will plays a major role in this process. He repeatedly states that he was taken out of his sinfulness once he decided to align his will with God’s will (Augustine bk. 8‚ ch. 10‚ sec. 22; bk. 11‚ ch. 1‚ sec. 1). Augustine divides sin into three categories: lust of the flesh‚ pride of life‚ and lust of the

Plato believed there are two types of realms. He said there are a realm of appearances and a realm of forms. “To understand Plato’s worldview‚ it is important to grasp the distinction that he makes between sensible "things" and "forms" (Russo).” There is no proof that there are two types of realms. “Thinking is not the same thing as the having of sensations; it is not literally true that “seeing is believing” (Engle‚ 271).” I do not agree with Plato’s metaphysics. Having two different realms

I found Descartes’ way of thinking very interesting when compared to Aristotle. Descartes doubts the existence of God when he decides to start over and completely ignore his senses. He states in his third meditation‚ “…and I do not yet even know for sure whether there is a God at all…I must examine whether there is a God‚ and if there is‚ whether he can be a deceiver.” (25) Descartes makes a goal for himself to find out if there is a God and who he is. According to Aquinas we will never be able to

uses words such as “assent”‚ “impulse”‚ and “assent” and their opposites to prove that these words are used to detail that desires form a particular class (437b). For example‚ you would say that a man has an impulse to what he desires. If you were to say that he has an aversion to what he desires‚ you would be bleeding into the rationale behind the fourth premise. Accordingly‚ the fourth premise outlines that reason is a part of the soul. Socrates implies‚ if there is one element in their minds which
