What are significant concepts?Show answer
The paper's recurring concepts frame every later debate: duty (obligation, central to Kant and natural law), virtue (character and the good life, central to Aristotle), the good (the end ethics aims at, conceived as pleasure, flourishing or God's will), and conscience (the inner moral voice, read by Aquinas as reason and by others as upbringing). Knowing how each theory uses these concepts lets you compare them precisely.
