This lecture discusses key ideas from the Medieval philosopher, theologian, and Dominican friar, Thomas Aquinas, and focuses on his Summa Theologiae, Prima Secundae Partis, q. 2.

It focuses upon his examination in article 8, inquiring into whether any created good could really be human happiness. Aquinas argues that only God can provide human happiness in its full sense but that the human soul plays a role in this, since we enjoy happiness through the soul.
