Abstract

Aquinas establishes an essential difference between moral hubris and spiritual hubris, which will lead him to his magisterial interpretation of the angelic and the human sins. In my understanding, in the case of the original sin of human beings, the Thomist interpretation is surprising and much more incisive than that of other famous theological and philosophical readings by which it was long obscured and which it contradicts.
