Since man, by living virtuously, is ordained to a higher end, which consists of the enjoyment of God, as we have said above, then human society must have the same end as the individual man. Therefore it is not the ultimate end of an assembled multitude to live virtuously, but through virtuous living to attain the possession of God.

According to the text, what is the ultimate end of human society?
a) To live virtuously
b) To achieve earthly prosperity
c) To serve the secular rulers
d) To attain the possession of God
