Happiness by St. Thomas Aquinas is a philosophical treatise that explores the nature of happiness and its attainment. Aquinas, a renowned theologian and philosopher of the Middle Ages, argues that happiness is the ultimate goal of human life and that it can only be achieved through a life of virtue and moral excellence.The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Aquinas defines happiness and distinguishes it from other forms of pleasure and satisfaction. He argues that happiness is not a fleeting emotion or a momentary pleasure, but a state of being that is attained through a life of virtue and moral excellence.In the second part, Aquinas discusses the virtues that are necessary for the attainment of happiness. He outlines the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance, as well as the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity. He explains how these virtues work together to lead a person towards a life of happiness.In the third and final part, Aquinas explores the role of God and divine grace in the attainment of happiness. He argues that God is the ultimate source of happiness and that it is only through a relationship with God that true happiness can be attained.Overall, Happiness by St. Thomas Aquinas is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of life's greatest questions: what is happiness and how can it be achieved? It offers a profound and timeless perspective on the nature of happiness and the virtues that are necessary for its attainment.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Thomas Aquinas Philosophical Texts, by St. Thomas Aquinas .
