Moral Philosophy: St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica Moral Philosophy: Ethics from Socrates to Sex A Collection of Ethical Theories in a Nutshell as a Springboard to Moral Philosophy. St. Thomas Aquinas - Summa Theologica (1265) For Aquinas people by nature want to be good and act in such a way. Actions are derived from a natural law, which is an interaction of what people have a natural inclination towards, that of an eternal law. These laws are all based on the notion that all beings want good as their ends and will avoid evil. The natural inclination towards good is according to reason and assumes that all beings want to sustain life in a natural order. This is the basis of the laws in which people live by, yet Aquinas still wrote that the closer we pay attention to detail in actions, exceptions will be found.
