Political Science and Saint Thomas Aquinas - Paperback

by Donald G. Boland (Author)

This book seeks to demonstrate the need for a restoration of Aristotle's Ethics and Politics (as illuminated by Aquinas) as the necessary basis of political science for the modern world. This requires that an empirically-inspired political philosophy is to be rejected so far as it recommends what is immoral and a metaphysically-grounded political philosophy is to be adopted so far as it recommends what is moral.
