Drawing on the Thomistic tradition, D'Arcy details the intricate relationship between intention, circumstance, and the moral species of an act, arguing that a proper understanding of human conduct requires far more than a simple weighing of consequences.\n\nPublished by Oxford's Clarendon Press, this scholarly work engages with the enduring philosophical questions raised by Aquinas and refracted through the lens of 20th-century moral theory. D'Arcy's prose is precise and authoritative, constructing a careful architecture of argument that challenges utilitarian reductionism and defends the irreducible moral significance of the object of an act. For anyone grappling with the foundations of ethical theory, this essay remains a landmark contribution — one that raises the question of whether the moral worth of a human act can ever truly be separated from what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130694377691,"sku":"2026100007973-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bae32c1f-70cb-4877-8dd3-2cedd1dccd70.png?v=1786588664","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007973-secondhand-human-acts-an-essay-in-their-moral-evaluation","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
