Contingency and Fortune in Aquinas's Ethics (Cambridge Studies in Religion and Critical Thought) Book
Bowlin argues that the strength of Aquinas's moral theology is his assumption about our common lot: the good we desire is difficult to know and to will, particularly because of contingencies of various kinds--within ourselves, in the ends and objects we pursue, and in the circumstances of choice.
