In this lecture/discussion session from my Fall 2013 Intro to Philosophy class, we examine several questions from the Summa, in which Thomas discusses the nature of Charity -- not only a form but the "perfection" of Love.  We discuss what charity is, and how it represents a divine contribution to the human free will, and then we turn to discussing the nature of virtue, why charity is a virtue, and why it would be one of the greatest of the virtues
