Action and Conduct: Thomas Aquinas and the Theory of Action

Both Thomistic scholars and analytic philosophers interested in theories of human action and accountability will find this book a welcome addition to their libraries. Truly a substantive addition to both Thomistic scholarship and the ongoing analytic investigation into human action and responsible agency. - American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly

A tremendously successful exposition of Aquinas, which brings him into conversation with contemporary and analytic philosophy in a mutually illuminating way. Action and Conduct is so thorough and so lucid that no students of Aquinas or of contemporary action theory can afford to neglect it. - Modern Theology

A first rate book…Brock’s lucid and illuminating analysis offers much of value to both intellectual historians and theologians, as well as philosophers. - Theological Studies

Brock’s treatment of Aquinas’s account of action exhibits a rare combination of rigor and learning. It is, no doubt, the best we have. - The Thomist
