Transhumanism, Posthumanism and Supernaturalism
Two Competing Interpretations of the Supernatural Life
Since the early Christian centuries, there have been two competing visions of the supernatural life, represented by the Gnostic and Canonical Christ. Both these figures manifest abilities beyond ordinary human power and are arguably spiritual forerunners of the transhumanists and posthumanists today who aspire to transcend the ordinary limits of human nature. Nevertheless, this paper examines how the canonical understanding of the supernatural li…

Aquinas on humility and relational greatness
Humility is a practically orphaned virtue in contemporary virtue ethics, and its theological associations in classical and medieval texts do not, at first glance, commend humility in a secular world. In response, I examine in this chapter the place accorded to humility in Aquinas’s relational virtue ethics.

The Second-Person Perspective in Aquinas’s Ethics
Thomas Aquinas devoted a substantial proportion of his greatest works to the virtues. Yet, despite the availability of these texts (and centuries of commentary), Aquinas’s virtue ethics remains mysterious, leaving readers with many unanswered questions. In this book, Pinsent argues that the key to understanding Aquinas’s approach is to be found in an association between: a) attributes he appends to the virtues, and b) interpersonal capacities inv…
The Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit
The Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit
Aquinas and Aristotle have different views on the types of virtues. Aquinas claimed that proper or perfect virtues are not acquired, but infused in human beings by God. These infused virtues include counterparts of many of the acquired moral and intellectual virtues. Aquinas argued that only the infused virtues are perfect and deserve to be called ‘virtues’ simply. Aquinas argued that cardinal virtues are not acquired virtues. There are seven gif…
