In this lecture from my Fall 2011 Ethics class at Marist College, we discuss Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae, prima secunadae, question 2, where Thomas examines a number of candidates for genuine happiness. We also begin to discuss the difference between Divine Command and Natural Law theories of ethics
