Saint T homas A quinas's Pagan Virtues

Today's conversations in virtue ethics are enflamed with questions of “pagan virtues,” which often designate non‐ C hristian virtue from a C hristian perspective. “Pagan virtues,” “pagan vices,” and their historied interpretations are the subject of J ennifer H erdt's book Putting On Virtue: The Legacy of the Splendid Vices (2008). I argue that the questions and language animating H erdt's book are problematic. I offer an alternative strategy to H erdt's for reading T homas A quinas's Summa Theologiae. My results are twofold: (1) a different set of conclusions and questions regarding the moral life that lend a fresh perspective to “pagan virtues” and (2) corresponding methodological suggestions for improving H erdt's project that would, to my mind, reaffirm her normative conclusions regarding the most viable ways forward for contemporary discussions of virtue
