	[No title]
		The Epicurean maintained that happiness was the whole summum bonum, and virtue only the form of the maxim for its pursuit; viz., the rational use of the means for attaining it.
		In the summum bonum which is practical for us, i.e., to be realized by our will, virtue and happiness are thought as necessarily combined, so that the one cannot be assumed by pure practical reason without the other also being attached to it.
		They thus, in fact, left out the second element of the summum bonum namely, personal happiness, placing it solely in action and satisfaction with one's own personal worth, thus including it in the consciousness of being morally minded, in which they Might have been sufficiently refuted by the voice of their own nature.

	The Rejection of God in Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Thus, as the Emperor Constantine signals the official acceptance of God as summum bonum, so the French Revolution is the date of the official acceptance of a new summum bonum—a human one in place of God—namely, the Nation.
		A clear indication of the prevailing summum bonum at any given time is seen in the negative: as long as God is summum bonum, the severest judgment falls on heresy or that collaboration with the devil called witchcraft.
		In Germany the Social Democratic Party clung to the Fatherland as summum bonum and to the reforms (on the Social Democratic model), and so ceased to be "Socialist" in the sense of Totalitarian.

	Kant on Summum Bonum
		In his Critique of Practical Reason, for instance, Immanuel Kant employs the concept of the summum bonum (the supreme or highest good) to establish, or prove, the immortality of the soul, on the one hand, and the existence of God, as Creator, on the other.
		Kant then argues that a "second element" of the summum bonum exists as "happiness proportioned to that morality," where morality is necessarily defined as the "first element" of the highest good.
		Kant, in virtually everything he says about the summum bonum, without ever going so far as to claim that man can, or should, aspire to "become like God," nevertheless grounds his moral philosophy in essentially the same terms when he says that "The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil.

	The Return To God As Summum Bonum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This was the condition for the emancipation of the Jews in the nineteenth century.
		The Eastern, Orthodox, Church has essentially remained with God [as summum bonum], although there are politically-minded bishops, whose Highest Good is apparently the Nation and not the Lord, such as Archbishop Capucci of Jerusalem and the deceased Archbishop Makarios of Cyprus.
		They are honored, their help sought in prayer, offerings are brought to them, but they are not themselves the summum bonum for Man. The summum bonum was in antiquity the Polis [city-state] and later perhaps the Roman state, but the gods were an other-worldly superhuman society of immortals, a kind of heavenly aristocracy.

		To isolate the transcendence of the summum bonum, the symptoms of the rest are described sometimes by Vedic inference, sometimes by direct explanation, and sometimes by summary explanations given by the great sages.

	Dialectic of Pure Reason
		The realization of the summum bonum ["highest good"] in the world is the necessary object of a will determinable by the moral law.
		The doctrine of Christianity,[2] even if we do not yet consider it as a religious doctrine, gives, touching this point, a conception of the summum bonum (the kingdom of God), which alone satisfies the strictest demand of practical reason.
		For we cannot conceive the action of this goodness (in respect of the happiness of rational beings) as suitable to the highest original good, except under the restrictive conditions of harmony with the holiness[3] of his will.

		It was the quest for a summum bonum that led to India’s Independence.
		Along the same lines are summum jus or the highest law, thus denoting the most strict and severe application of the law and summum pulchrum or the highest beauty.

	Homily for 17th Sunday, Year A, by Fr Munachi Ezeogu
		The summum bonum is believed to be not just the best thing one could ever have but also that good which contains in itself or brings along with it all other good and desirable things in life, that which completely satisfies the otherwise insatiable desires of the human heart.
		In this example the baby chicks can be compared to the many good things of life and the mother hen to the summum bonum, the supreme good which brings in its train all other goods.
		It is the summum bonum, the supreme good, the one and only good thing we shall ever need to achieve total satisfaction and fulfilment in life.

		I asked this in another section, but: are summum bonum and eutheism really the same thing?
		Summum bonum says so much more about God than that, and is far more encompassing.

		It may be viewed as a perfect moral state: as pleasure or happiness (see HEDONISM; - EUDAEMONISM); as physical perfection; as wealth, and so forth.
		If, however, we abandon intuitional ethics, it is reasonable to argue that the term summum bonum ceases to have any real significance inasmuch as actions are not intrinsically good or bad, while the complete sceptic strives after no systematic ideal.

	A source for Robert Fludd's sevenfold rose
		The rose symbol from the titlepage of Robert Fludd's Summum Bonum, published at Frankfurt in 1629, has become well known as a Rosicrucian symbol.
		It has a sevenfold symmetry, seven layers of petals and its stem is formed in the shape of a cross.
		This shows very clearly that Merian and the publishers of Fludd's book, while drawing on symbolism from the emblem tradition, nevertheless intended to give this symbol definite and unambiguous Rosicrucian associations.

		Aristotle's theory, for example, seems to justify vast inequality and class stratification.
		Unlike the liberal philosophers, Aristotle believes that there is a summum bonum toward which all human actions are consciously or unconsciously directed.
