Ethics naturally derived from ontology in Thomas Aquinas
Main Article Content
Abstract
This scholarship article explains how Aquinas understood: a) apprehension of the first intellectual concepts: ens, verum et bonum simpliciter; b) establishment of the first and the second commandments of natural law in a person, genuinely human or rational; c) ethics as essentially derived from ontology. Ens, understood metaphysically, compound of human nature and act of being; d) therefore, natural law only makes sense from a metaphysical sight, not a merely physical or material view.
