Did Aquinas Justify the Transition from ‘Is’ to ‘Ought’? by Piotr Lichacz

This paper is a review of the book: Piotr Lichacz, O.P., Did Aquinas Justify the Transition from ‘Is’ to ‘Ought’? (Warszawa: Instytut Tomistyczny, 2010). According to the author, Lichacz’s book provides a comprehensive analysis of Thomas Aquinas’s anthropological and teleological methodology of philosophy. Consequently, it develops a supervenient and normative characteristic of natural finality onto the description of the human being as discovered in the natural sciences.
