  • For Aquinas, properly moral acts are free acts
  • we act towards certain specific ends but achieving thos ends are not fully satisfying, we are only fully satisfied when we reach the ultimate end, the universal good
  • What is the universal good?
    Cannot be found in this world, but only in the supreme and infinite God
  • Natural law foes beyond human laws to cover all areas of human action because "Man needs to be directed to his supernatural end in a higher way"
