- Title
Thomistic Considerations on Whether We Ought to Revere Non-Rational Natural Beings.
- Authors
GEORGE, MARIE I.
- Abstract
An essay is presented on the human's reverence towards non-rational natural creatures. The author explores Italian philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas' concept of reverence and how contemporary English speakers used the term in line with the former's teachings. He also suggests the need for humans to consider Aquinas' concept to realize the value and treat rational creatures different from non-rational ones.
