    Happiness and Human Action
    1. Happiness and Human Action
    We were made to be happy with God forever. How do we get from our basic inclination to happiness to the life of grace? In this course, we will explore the second section of the Summa Theologiae. We will begin with happiness and beatitude, pass through the interior dimensions of the moral act, and discuss habits, art, and virtue.

    Virtue: the Path to Happiness
    2. Virtue: the Path to Happiness
    When we consider the good life, many questions arise due to the complexity of human existence. St. Thomas Aquinas simplified the drama of human happiness and misery using one powerful concept: virtue. The intellectual, moral, and theological virtues structure our acts and make us good, and even empower us to cooperate with the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

    Theological and Cardinal Virtues
    3. Theological and Cardinal Virtues
    In this course, we will examine the second part of the Summa Theologiae, which ends by filling out what it means to live the good life on the way to God. It proceeds through the theological virtues that come from God himself, to the cardinal or moral virtues that are proportionate to our nature, and ends with a theology of the different states of life for human beings.
