This noteworthy book develops a new theory of the natural law that takes its orientation from the account of the natural law developed by Thomas Aquinas, as interpreted and supplemented in the context of scholastic theology in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Though this history might seem irrelevant to twenty-first-century life, Jean Porter shows that the scholastic approach to the natural law still has much to contribute to the contemporary discussion of Christian ethics. Aquinas and his interlocutors provide a way of thinking about the natural law that is distinctively theological while at the same time remaining open to other intellectual perspectives, including those of science. In the course of her work, Porter examines the scholastics' assumptions and beliefs about nature, Aquinas's account of happiness, and the overarching claim that reason can generate moral norms. Ultimately, Porter argues that a Thomistic theory of the natural law is well suited to provide a starting point for developing a more nuanced account of the relationship between specific beliefs and practices. While Aquinas's approach to the natural law may not provide a system of ethical norms that is both universally compelling and detailed enough to be practical, it does offer something that is arguably more valuable - namely, a way of reflecting theologically on the phenomenon of human morality.Binding Type: Paperback

Water Comes Out Clean and Tastes Good!
Style: Standard, Size: 2 Count
I had a Brita filter while I was in college, and so naturally, I needed to buy the water filter replacements on occasion. These are the original ones from Brita, and they work as well as you would expect! They purify the water you pour into the pitcher, and it tastes good (at least in my opinion)! They feel pretty well made, and I haven't had any issues where the water has come out tasting gross or it getting clogged. It works well, and fits nicely into my pitcher. I've heard others face issues with third-party water filters, so it feels nice to buy the original ones and for them to work without issue.

Very good quality Nitrile gloves useful for sanitary and even mild work around the house protection
Size: Large (Pack of 100)
I've been using these gloves for years and have been very pleased with them. They fit very well, are thick enough to provide adequate protection, but thin enough to provide a good feel and ability to do tasks requiring finger dexterity. They are a blueish purple and come in sizes to fit most any hand. They do not have talc, so if you have sweaty hands, these are liable to be an issue if worn for extended periods. I use them as a caretaker for personal hygiene activities, bed baths, etc. They have never ripped and in some cases, I 've reused them with no issues. The are definitely good value for money.

Great for refinishing work
Size: Large (Pack of 100)
Good quality gloves and the size (large) fits great. Easy to put on and to remove. I use these for applying wood stains and polyurethane. They're thick enough to provide the appropriate protection yet allow for a minimal loss of dexterity so I can get into small crevices when doing highly detailed surfaces. These are durable enough to be reused. Been using these for the past few years and will continue with them. It ain't broke.
