Description:
For Thomas Aquinas, the passion of sorrow is at the root of envy, sloth, and mercy. In the seminar we will first read Aquinas’ analysis of the passions of the soul, particularly sorrow. Then we will examine sorrow’s role in virtue and vice. We will also consider the remedies of sorrow, particularly in the forms of friendship and contemplation of the truth.
