Ethics, Thomas Aquinas, Natural Moral Virtues, Infused Moral Virtues, Human Nature, Divine GraceResumo
This work seeks to point out the differences between natural moral life and supernatural moral life as of the principles which makes them possible. More precisely, the intention of this paper is to offer an account on the interplay between the principles of the natural moral virtues (those that the agent person can acquire and cultivate through his own efforts) and the infused moral virtues (which cannot be acquired and cultivated by the agent’s efforts, but only possessed by him because God grants them to him) within the moral theory of Thomas Aquinas.
