Exploring Aquinas' Views on Interspecies Violence and Teleological Perfection

The chapter discusses Aquinas' concept of primary and secondary ends through the lens of interspecies violence, using the example of a lion hunting an antelope. It explores the nuanced idea that while the primary end of the antelope is to thrive as itself, its secondary end is to contribute to the greater good by being part of the ecosystem, raising questions about teleological perfection.
