my favorite philosopher unless you consider Aquinas a philosopher and not a theologian!
A bit of a dry read, but as mentioned, essential reading for anyone curious about the fundamentals of ethics and morality.
More like a manual than anything else...absolutely fascinating, but I don't agree with it all.
