Czy głupot a jest moralna? Braki w procesie dojrzewania do pełni mądrości na kanwie nauki św. Tomasza z Akwinu o ludzkim poznaniu

Abstract

Is stupidity moral? Deficiencies in the process of maturation into  wisdom on the canvas learning St. Thomas Aquinas of human cognition.

 While the  braver cognitivists try to subject the nature of morality and its formalisation within the  frames of ethical theories to reinterpretation, we need to think whether cognitive science  is able to make such changes. Surely, ethics shaped upon an appropriate vision of human  nature should also take into consideration information about the knowledge of reality and truth. Saint Thomas Aquinas is considered one of those significant theorists and  practitioners of morality who analysed in depth the principles of how judgements about  wisdom and morality are formed. Are the teachings of Thomas Aquinas today merely  an unnecessary “spirit of the past”? They are not and his analysis of the principles of  cognition even nowadays can inspire further studies on human choices and subjective  ethical actions. The reason is entitled to wisdom, not folly, and the soul is entitled to  perfection, not numbness.
