内容説明・目次
内容説明
What is happiness and how do we attain it? Saint Thomas Aquinas (ca.
1226-1274) devoted much time to these questions. In studying them he
always returned to the beatitudes as they are found in Matthew 5:1-10.
They function as the framework for his theology of human happiness. This
study presents that theology as it comes to the fore in Aquinas'
performance of his three tasks as a magister at the Parisian university:
to read Scripture, to dispute theological topics, and to preach.
This study shows that Aquinas believes that the beatitudes describe a
number of virtuous actions, the exercise of which is made possible by
grace, specified in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. To all those observing
the new law constituted by the beatitudes, a reward is promised in the
form of eternal happiness. Any happiness that can be had in this life is
at best an inchoate form of the reward of eternal happiness, which is
described in the second part of each individual beatitude.
