Table of ContentsReviewsA timely, significant contribution; Flannery elegantly grounds the ethics of cooperation in Aquinas's nonpareil account of action. --Thomas A. Cavanaugh, University of San Francisco This is a superb philosophical and historical study of the problem of cooperation with evil written by a master scholar who has spent decades immersed in the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition. It will be a much welcome and much needed guide for individuals striving to attain virtue in a pluralistic society in which they will inevitably find themselves working alongside friends and colleagues who do not share their moral principles and intuitions. --Rev. Nicanor Pier Giorgio Austriaco, OP, Providence College What this volume presents is really a new beginning for the ethics of cooperation in evil. As Fr. Flannery makes abundantly clear, the (hitherto) standard approach to this complex topic, in modern Catholic moral thought, is confused and not quite on target. St. Thomas has principles and distinctions that can help to get a more solid grip on the matter, and Flannery lays them out carefully and shows us how to apply them. Philosophers and theologians working in the field should put their projects on hold and study this book. --Stephen Brock, author of The Philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas: A Sketch Kevin Flannery reveals the need to reconsider traditional discourse on cooperation with evil. The distinction between formal and material cooperation has not been consistently explained, leading more often to confusion rather than to insight. Flannery shines light on the subject by providing necessary tools for evaluating the morality of cooperation with evil. --Steven J. Jensen, Director, Center for Thomistic Studies, University of St. Thomas, Houston Author InformationKevin L. Flannery, SJ is Ordinary Professor of the History of Ancient Philosophy at the Pontifical Gregorian University and author of Action and Character According to Aristotle: The Logic of the Moral Life and Acts Amid Precepts: The Aristotelian Logical Structure of Thomas Aquinas’s Moral Theory (both CUA Press).
