Or do we have  in that work a presentation of the foundation of Aquinas's moral  philosophy? Professor Doig answers these questions through an  examination of the historical context within which the \u003cem\u003eSententia\u003c\/em\u003e  was composed. \u003cbr\u003e  In Chapters 1-2, the work's role as a corrective of earlier  commentaries is established. Chapter 3, by examining philosophy at  Paris between 1215 and 1283, reveals that the proposal by Aquinas of a  moral philosophy would have been unexceptional. Chapter 4's  investigation of the principles underlying the moral theory of the  \u003cem\u003eSententia\u003c\/em\u003e makes apparent that they were regarded by Aquinas as  both philosophical and Aristotelian. The date to be assigned the  composition of the \u003cem\u003eSententia\u003c\/em\u003e is studied in Chapter 5, and the  conclusion is drawn, that with some probability, the \u003cem\u003eSententia\u003c\/em\u003e  is its author's final proposal of moral doctrines. The closing Chapter  offers a summary of that moral philosophy against the historical  background brought out earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792369547\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9771-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 316\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416644935820,"sku":"9780792369547","price":161.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792369547.jpg?v=1774026519","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792369547","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
