In order to lay the ground for the construction of a philosophy of culture the origin, meaning and some of the implications of the word „culture" are examined and discussed in light of a working definition of the anthropological concept of culture taken from C. Dawson. In Section II another concept of culture is examined, based on the idea of culture as human perfection. Then in Section III the concept of cultural levels is introduced, that is, the differing levels at which the central concept of a culture can be understood or embodied.

Thomas Aquinas understands providence as the reason of directing things to ends (ratio ordinis rerum in finem), and as the execution of that directing, i.e. governance (gubernatio). Thus, providence is one of the fundamental attributes of the person that reveals the person's perfection and dignity. Providence consists in a free and reasonable directing of oneself and the reality subject to oneself in order to actualize potentialities of oneself and of other beings in the context of the ultimate goal of existence. Human providence joins the providence of the Absolute with regard to the world. In spite of its deficiencies human providence reveals the essential dignity of the human person.

In the realm of virtue ethics, the question of whether virtues remain after this life is a minor one. The basic text on this issue, written by St Augustine, is followed by Peter Lombard and Beda Venerabilis. These sources deal from the theological perspective with the basic question positively; however, they admit a change in the operations of virtues. Thomas Aquinas elaborates this perspective in philosophical argumentation. This article analyses the importance of the question from Aquinas’s perspective for virtue ethics. It then argues for the key role of this topic for the classical concept of virtue since it underlines the key role of infused cardinal virtues that connect the immanent and transcendent dimension of virtue ethics.
