Aquinas' Ethical Theory: Love as the Heart of Human Moral Life
Aquinas' ethical theory centers around the relationship between God and human beings, emphasizing a shareable relationship of love. According to Aquinas, big goods, like knowledge, are distinguished from little goods, such as pizza, based on how they are distributed. Love, especially in union with God, is considered the biggest good and the foundation of human moral excellence, leading to virtues being dispositions to love and vices as failures to love.
