This interdisciplinary commentary makes Thomas Aquinas's classical treatise on the meaning of life and the nature of human happiness luminously clear to scholars, students, and general readers. Budziszewski offers a line-by-line explanation of the text, complete with examples, applications to life, and ancillary discussions.
This monumental, line-by-line commentary makes Thomas Aquinas's classic Treatise on Happiness and Ultimate Purpose accessible to all readers. Budziszewski illuminates arguments that even specialists find challenging: What is happiness? Is it something that we have, feel, or do? Does it lie in such things as wealth, power, fame, having friends, or knowing God? Can it actually be attained? This book's luminous prose makes Aquinas's treatise transparent, bringing to light profound underlying issues concerning knowledge, meaning, human psychology, and even the nature of reality.

J. Budziszewski studies the ethical foundations of law, society, and government. He has published numerous books on a variety of topics, most notably centered on the tradition of classical natural law and on Thomas Aquinas.

I. Man's Ultimate Purpose (Question 1); II. Happiness Itself; A. Where Does Complete Happiness Lie? Failed Candidates (Question 2); B. What Then Is Complete Happiness in Itself, and In What Does It Really Lie? (Question 3); C. Its Attainment; 1. What Complete Happiness Requires (Question 4); 2. How Complete Happiness Is Finally Attained (Question 5).
