Abstract
The work that follows aims to be a commentary on an article in the Summa Theologica of Saint Thomas Aquinas (ST, I, q. 6, a. 2), which is enunciated through the question: “Does the highest good have the idea of an ultimate end?”. From this article, an orientation will be structured for the discussion of the ethical and philosophical problem of the ultimate end of the human being. To cope with the task, the method used will be the construction of a discursive essay, based on the crossing of sources obtained through the hypertextual orientation that happens in the readings and in the identification of areas of study and commentators. As far as possible, the dialectical structure of the argumentative construction, typical of medieval summistic literature, is also mirrored.
