Conforming to Right Reason by Ryan J. Brady PDF Summary

Book Description: "How do the intellect and will remain free while pursuing a life of virtue? This is where the question of prudence comes in. Is the practical wisdom of the prudent man founded upon some kind of innate or acquired instinct, or does it presuppose 'understanding' of intellectually grasped basic principles? And if those principles are pre-supposed, is reason necessary for applying them in any given instance, or can one solely look to the rightly formed appetites acquired by moral virtue? In answering these questions Brady looks first and foremost to St. Thomas Aquinas... Brady's way of engaging the question of the interplay between the intellect and reason is by focusing on two apparently conflicting texts of St. Thomas Aquinas, one of which says that synderesis appoints the end to the moral virtues and another which says prudence does. The author's conviction is that the correct way of reconciling these two texts not only establishes knowledge not only of the role of conscience, virtue, and natural law in the moral life but also provides insight into the profoundly complementary roles of reason and will within the context of a life of virtue." --Book jacket.
