Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The article presents the classical understanding of the good in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas in the excellent and original interpretation of the contemporary German philosopher Josef Pieper. It also presents his discussion with modern ethics (Kant, Sartre, Camus). The importance of the issue is emphasized and then the ontological issue of the good is presented under the following five aspects: 1) The meaning of the thesis that every being is good mean; 2) The meaning of the term "good"; 3) The final interpretation of the thesis that every being is good; 4) The issue of the good from the perspective of empiricism, natural science, and the theory of Kant; and 5) The negation of the thesis that "every being is good", its consequences (nihilism), and the problem of suicide. The article also considers the existence of a direct relationship between the ontological and the moral good. Finally, the relationship between the two types of good is shown in the context of happiness.
