The Pursuit of Perfect Happiness According to Aquinas

What is happiness, and what is the best and happiest life a human being can live? Or even more directly and personally, what kind of life ought I to be living or ought I to be aiming for? In this lecture, Fr. Dominic Legge, O.P. (Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception and the Thomistic Institute) draws on wisdom from St. Thomas Aquinas and the classical tradition to answer these fundamental and perennial questions.

This lecture was given to the Cornell University chapter of the Thomistic Institute on September 10, 2018.
