[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper which evaluates 'On the Eternity of the World' by St. Thomas of Aquinas. This particular work of Aquinas's is described from the beginning in such a way that illustrates the many different notions that one may obtain in regards to the apparently simple statements that Aquinas makes. As the works are further discovered and discussed there are many issues which are more thoroughly detailed which brings the reader into a position where a much clearer understanding of the statements is attained. Throughout the evaluation of the work there are examinations which detail some of the weak and the strong points made by Aquinas. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

St. Thomas Aquinas on Law, Morality, and Politics
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page
report discusses the theories and philosophies of St. Thomas
Aquinas (1225-1274) with an emphasis on the differntiations he
made regarding natural law and eternal law. The thought and
writing of St. Thomas Aquinas reconciled religion with reason,
expanded it towards experimental science, insisted that the
senses were the windows of the soul and that the reason had a
divine right to be presented with facts. He believed that natural
law is fundamentally the rational creature’s participation in
God’s eternal law. Bibliography lists 1 source.

St. Thomas Aquinas: Vague Definition Of Common Good, Justice And Virtue
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. St. Thomas Aquinas espoused his propensity towards good will, justice and virtue as being the primary components of one's journey on this earth. He cited myriad reasons why this is to be so, as well as postulated that those who do not follow such a patch of righteousness were not living up to their full spiritual potential. However, there exists debate as to whether or not the philosopher's vague definitions of common good, justice and virtue were nothing more than loopholes for his argument. What, then, did Aquinas mean? Was he not earnest in his conjecture? Indeed he was, and it is with great significance that his theories contributed to the historical study of humankind. Bibliography lists 1 source.
