What Kind of Power is Virtue? John of St. Thomas OP on Causality of Virtues and Vices - PhilPapers
Michał Głowala. Studia Neoaristotelica 9 (1):25-57 (2012). “an analysis of four theses of John of St. Thomas on the causality of habits, which, I think, constitute the most mature and reliable study of the causality of habits in the scholastic tradition: (i) Habits are efficient causes of actions they prompt (3.1). (ii) Virtues do determine the very natures of actions they prompt (3.2); (iii) Virtues do not have a proper counterpart among the characteristics of actions they prompt (3.3); (iv) The formal object of causality of virtue is a masterpiece performance of an action (3.4).”

Le fantôme de Descartes
Pierre Guenancia. Esprit (2012) 3–4:150–164. “Trop souvent, on considère l’histoire de la philosophie comme quelque chose de scolaire, qui n’éclaire pas la pensée. Or il en va tout autrement, puisqu’elle nous permet précisément de mieux contrer certains discours du monde contemporain, et d’échapper à l’enfermement du présent. Comme le démontre l’exemple de la théorie du dualisme cartésien, qui permet de critiquer de manière féconde l’approche réductrice des sciences cognitives.”
