Review Quotes:
"DeYoung, McCluskey, and Van Dyke have written the ideal introduction to Aquinas's ethics, situating it in the broader context of his thinking about human nature and action. Although Aquinas cared more about--and wrote more about--ethics than about any other philosophical topic, it remains the most unjustly neglected aspect of his thought. I know of no better guide to that territory than this book." --Robert Pasnau, University of Colorado at Boulder
