Subjective and objective aspects of the ultimate end are one in the person of
the agent. The ultimate end, as taught by theist philosophy and Christian teaching,
is the SUMMUM BONUM or Supreme Good, the highest good of all goods.

ultimate end is attained that man’s craving for happiness rests. (Ioanes di Napoli,
1961: 172-173).
