About Thomas More

Saint Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), also known as Sir Thomas More, was an English lawyer, writer, and politician. He is chiefly remembered for his principled refusal to accept King Henry VIII's claim to be the supreme head of the Church of England, a decision which ended his political career and led to his execution as a traitor. In 1935, four hundred years after his death, More was canonized in the Catholic Church and was later declared the patron saint of statesmen, lawyers, and politicians.

Ahlak felsefesinde, onlar da bizim bilginlerimizle aynı sorunlar üzerinde durmaktadırlar. Onlar da gerek insanın ruhunda ve bedeninde, gerek dış dünyada onu mutlu edebilecek şeyleri ararlar. Onlar da şunu sormaktadırlar kendi kendilerine: Acaba iyi dediğimiz şey hem ruhun, hem bedenin isteklerini mi karşılar, yoksa yalnız ruhun isteklerini mi? Onlar da erdem ve zevk üstüne tartışırlar. Ama asıl tartıştıkları sorun, insan mutluluğunun bir yek ya da birçok koşulunu aramaktır.
