QUESTION 34

OF THE GOODNESS AND MALICE OF PLEASURES

(In Four Articles)

We must now consider the goodness and malice of pleasures: under

which head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether every pleasure is evil?

(2) If not, whether every pleasure is good?

(3) Whether any pleasure is the greatest good?

(4) Whether pleasure is the measure or rule by which to judge of

moral good and evil?
