Summary: A Pleasant Surprise
Review: To be honest, I do not not care for most of McInerny's works. This is a nice exception. I found the translation clear and the discussion of Aquinas' ethics helpful. Anyone who is interested in Aquinas' ethical theory will surely want to obtain a copy.

Summary: Important to have....
Review: Unless you are a Thomist or you are really serious about Ethical theory, you probably don't need this book. However, if you fit either of the above categories, you should own this. One cannot possess all of Aquinas' works (out of print, in Latin etc.), so when something like this comes into print - you'd best get it, if you're interested. McInerny's Preface is accurate and helpful. His translation is trustworthy. I think its wonderful that Dr. McInerny took up the task to publish this text of Aquinas'. The "Disputed Questions" is written in the usual Scholastic manner.... and the 13 articles of discussion include: "Are virtues habits?" "Can the will be a subject of virtue?" "Are the virtues in us by nature?" The book itself is a glossy hardcover, the pages are durable and the font is readable and uncluttered.
