Description
Lying and Truthfulness: A Thomistic Perspective offers a detailed philosophical examination of the nature of lying and the virtue of truthfulness as understood through the works of Thomas Aquinas and the Thomistic tradition. The author, Stewart Clem, provides a nuanced analysis of how Aquinas approached questions of truth, deception, and moral integrity.
This work bridges medieval scholastic thought with contemporary ethical concerns, demonstrating the enduring relevance of Thomistic principles to modern moral dilemmas. The book explores the metaphysical foundations of truth, the moral dimensions of speech acts, and the relationship between virtue ethics and truthfulness.
Ideal for scholars of medieval philosophy, Catholic thought, and moral theology, this volume contributes significantly to debates about the absolute vs. relative nature of moral rules and the complexities of ethical conduct in difficult circumstances.
