  • Natural Law

    Anthony J LisskaBOOKThe Oxford handbook of medieval…2012

    This article discusses the meta-ethical presuppositions necessary for understanding the ethical naturalism common to several contemporary natural law arguments. This analysis, while conscious of the historical antecedents in medieval Aristotelianism with special reference to Thomas Aquinas, concentrates on the contemporary thrust of natural law discussions. Natural law theory at its best has a realist foundation based on human persons; this moral…

  • Natural Law and the Roman Catholic Tradition: The Importance of Philosophical Realism

    Open AccessAnthony J LisskaARTICLEAmerican Journal of Economics and…2012References: 15

    A bstract The intellectual tradition of Roman Catholicism considers natural‐law theory as providing the philosophical machinery for articulating concepts central to thinking about moral theory, legal theory, and the social order. The thrust of this essay is to explicate the positions rooted in the writings of Aquinas on natural‐law theory, a theory with which a Georgist might find some stimulating similarities. Conditions necessary for natural‐la…

  • Deely, Aquinas, and Poinsot: How the intentionality of inner sense transcends the limits of empiricism

    Open AccessAnthony J LisskaARTICLESemiotica2010References: 5

    In Four ages of understanding , John Deely considers (among many things) issues in the philosophy of mind rooted in the Aristotelian tradition. One specific item concerns perceiving the individual as an individual that is not reducible to an empiricist “bundle of sensations.” Deely, in discussing Poinsot on inner sense and perception through an intentio insensata , suggests that most modern and contemporary philosophers neglected Poinsot's insigh…

  • Aquinas’s Theory of Natural Law

    Anthony J LisskaBOOKAquinas's Theory of Natural Law1997

    This new critique of Aquinas' theory of natural law presents an incisive, new analysis of the central themes and relevant texts in the Summa Theologiae, which became the classical canon for natural law. The author discusses Aquinas' view of ethical naturalism within the context of the contemporary revival and recovery of Aristotelian ethics, arguing that Aquinas is fundamentally Aristotelian in the foundations of his moral theory. The book looks …

  • Aquinas’s Theory of Natural Law: A Reconstruction

    Anthony J LisskaCHAPTERAquinas's Theory of Natural Law1997

    This chapter proposes a reconstruction of Thomas Aquinas' theory of natural law. It aims to elucidate the texts and the metaphysics underlying Aquinas' moral theory using an approach called structural history of philosophy. The analyses of the texts considered several issues central to the moral theory in natural law. These include the presuppositions of the theory, the structure of the argument, the place of Aquinas' ethical naturalism in contem…
