"Summa Theologica, Part I-II (Pars Prima Secundae)" by Saint Thomas Aquinas is a theological work written between 1265-1274. This section presents the general principles of morality, including a comprehensive theory of law. Designed as an instructional guide for beginning theology students, it employs a distinctive question-and-answer format featuring objections, counter-arguments, and systematic replies.
