Abstract
The author argues in favor of the thesis proposed by Peter Knauer and others that double-effect reasoning, or the principle of double effect, changes in character from Aquinas's initial formulation in his treatment of self-defense to the articulations offered by various manualists. However, Knauer and others fail to recognize that proportionalism is better understood as an extension of neo-Scholastic Jesuit manuals than as a recovery of Aquinas.
