The 3 Parts of the Context of the Christian Story

1. God
2. Dynamic of human life
3. Human Life and its striving toward God

The Context of Aquinas`s Ethics

-our pursuit of happiness

-explore how emotions ´`the passions`` are involved in a process

-explore our actions related to certain dispositions (Habits) and how we develop either good or bad
habits with good disposition leading toward moral choices.

toward good.

of right and wrong must be informed and guided.
