Abstract:

30 years after Veritatis splendor, the understanding of christian moral life continues to challenge moral theology. Since the hermeneutics of moral truth is anthropological and theological, it is necessary to think about the relationship between the dynamism of practical reason and the christian faith in a way that respects both the novelty of revelation and grace, as well as this dynamism itself. From the perspective of virtue ethics, it is possible to assume this challenge to theorize the unity of christian practical reason, pointing out the link between practical reason and the principles of christian life. In this study we present a proposal of understanding the dynamism of christian practical reason from the theological perspective of the ultimate end.

Key words:

Veritatis splendor, ultimate end, theological virtues, practical reason.
