Mere Theological Garb? A Reply to Thomas Osborne, Jr.'s Thomas Aquinas on Virtue
Thomist: A Speculative Quarterly Review
(2024)
Abstract
This overview of Thomas Osborne's Thomas Aquinas on Virtue opens by seeking to establish the context and relevance of the project, especially considering developments in contemporary analytic practical philosophy. Following a precis of the six chapters of Osborne's text, indicating some of the highlights of each, I close by hazarding a few evaluative comments especially around some of the questions that the book helpfully provokes about the limits of philosophical and theological inquiry in Aquinas's understanding of virtue.
