Aquinas at 800, Part 4: Applied Ethics

June 12, 2025 • Think ND

Episode Topic: Applied Ethics

Can we make a case for Aquinas as a model of reform when it comes to ecological virtues, bioenhancement, or even death with dignity? Contemplate Aquinas’ thoughts on souls, integral wholes, and the conditions and acts necessary for the expression of virtue in our lives.

Heather Foucault-Camm, PGCE, M.Sc. ’23 M.A., Program Director, Science & Religion Initiative, University of Notre Dame
John Meinert, Associate Professor of Theology, Benedictine College
