The book "Ethics as a Work of Charity: Thomas Aquinas and Pagan Virtue Encountering Traditions" by David Decosimo, published in 2014, offers a unique perspective on ethics and morality in the context of technological advancements and their impact on society. The author presents a compelling argument that charity, as understood by Thomas Aquinas, can be applied to the development of modern technology, and that this approach can help us navigate the complexities of our rapidly changing world. The book begins by exploring the concept of charity in the works of Thomas Aquinas, highlighting its importance in Christian theology and its relevance to contemporary ethical dilemmas. The author then delves into the history of technology and its evolution over time, demonstrating how it has influenced human culture and behavior. This section serves as a foundation for the subsequent discussion of the relationship between technology and ethics, which is at the core of the book. The author argues that the rapid pace of technological progress has created a sense of disorientation and dislocation in modern society, leading to a loss of traditional values and a fragmentation of the human experience.
