L’homme animal politique et parlant selon Albert le Grand et Thomas d’Aquin

Abstract

The present article intends to study, from the

point of view of moral philosophy, the Aristotelian definition

of man, as a ‘political animal endowed with language’,

in the interpretation of Albert the Great and

Thomas Aquinas. Regarding Albert, I take into account

his theory of happiness and friendship ; regarding Aquinas,

I study the conception of practical science, as well as

his theory of preaching.
