Living the Good Life: A Beginner's Thomistic Ethics

This was a textbook for a graduate class. I learned a lot, and I think it is accessible to the general public. Jensen uses great examples--he seems like a great teacher, and he knows his Thomas moral theology/philosophy.

I am not a big reader and needed this book for my Ethics class. First thing I liked about this book is that it is easy to read. The chapters are short and the language is easy to understand. Secondly, the content makes so much sense and can actually be applied to life. I am really enjoying this book.

Best introduction to ethics that I have read. Explains clearly and helps in understanding Thomistic ethics without the technical jargon. Highly recommend this book.

Brought the book for school it reads well easy to understand

A brilliant and succinct presentation of the essentials of the Thomistic Ethics. I have used it with great success in my undergraduate philosophy courses. The writing is accessible without being patronizing, and the the explanations simplify without distorting Aquinas's thought. The best introductory work of its kind. Period.

Reading this book is like sitting down for a good, long conversation with an old friend: it is a clear, engaging exploration of all that really matters about life, written in layman's terms but with the precision of the best kind of philosophy. Most highly recommended.

this along with Aristotle -- easy read -- should be read by everyone

A great, yet simple, synthesis of the moral teaching of St. Thomas.

A simple and straight-forward look at good philosophy and ethics. A tool for discernment of life's problems.
