3516 <b>Objection 1:</b> It would seem that there are not to be distinguished five genera of powers in the soul---namely, vegetative, sensitive, appetitive,
3517 locomotive, and intellectual. For the powers of the soul are called its parts. But only three parts of the soul are commonly
3518 assigned---namely, the vegetative soul, the sensitive soul, and the rational soul. Therefore there are only three genera of
3519 powers in the soul, and not five.

3528 <b>Objection 2:</b> Further, the powers of the soul are the principles of its vital operations. Now, in four ways is a thing said to live. For
3529 the Philosopher says (De Anima ii, 2): "In several ways a thing is said to live, and even if only one of these is present,
3530 the thing is said to live; as intellect and sense, local movement and rest, and lastly, movement of decrease and increase
3531 due to nourishment." Therefore there are only four genera of powers of the soul, as the
3532 appetitive is excluded.

3541 <b>Objection 3:</b> Further, a special kind of soul ought not to be assigned as regards what is common to all the powers. Now desire is common

3544 appropriate object. Therefore the appetitive power should not be made a special genus of
3545 the powers of the soul.

3566 <b>I answer that,</b> There are five genera of powers of the soul, as above numbered. Of these, three are called souls, and four are called modes
3567 of living. The reason of this diversity lies in the various souls being distinguished accordingly as the operation of the
3568 soul transcends the operation of the corporeal nature in various ways; for the whole corporeal nature is subject to the soul,
3569 and is related to it as its matter and instrument. There exists, therefore, an operation
3570 of the soul which so far exceeds the corporeal nature that it is not even performed by any corporeal organ; and such is the
3571 operation of the "rational soul." Below this, there is another operation of the soul, which is indeed performed through a
3572 corporeal organ, but not through a corporeal quality, and this is the operation of the "sensitive soul"; for though hot and
3573 cold, wet and dry, and other such corporeal qualities are required for the work of the senses, yet they are not required in
3574 such
3575 a way that the operation of the senses takes place by virtue of such qualities; but only for the proper disposition of the
3576 organ. The lowest of the operations of the soul is that which is performed by a corporeal organ, and by virtue of a corporeal
3577 quality. Yet this transcends the operation of the corporeal nature; because the movements of bodies are caused by an extrinsic
3578 principle, while these operations are from an intrinsic principle; for this is common to all the operations of the soul;
3579 since every animate thing, in some way, moves itself. Such is the operation of the "vegetative soul"; for digestion, and what
3580 follows, is caused instrumentally by the action of heat, as the Philosopher says (De Anima ii, 4).
3581 </p></div><div class="lat"><p class="latin" title="I q. 78 a. 1 co."><a name="31677" shape="rect"><span class="ref">[31677] Iª q. 78 a. 1 co.</span></a> Respondeo dicendum
3582 quod quinque sunt genera potentiarum animae, quae numerata sunt.
3583 Tres vero dicuntur animae. Quatuor vero dicuntur modi vivendi. Et
3584 huius diversitatis ratio est, quia diversae animae distinguuntur
3585 secundum quod diversimode operatio animae supergreditur operationem
3586 naturae corporalis, tota enim natura corporalis subiacet animae, et
3587 comparatur ad ipsam sicut materia et instrumentum. Est ergo quaedam
3588 operatio animae, quae intantum excedit naturam corpoream, quod
3589 neque etiam exercetur per organum corporale. Et talis est operatio
3590 animae rationalis. Est autem alia operatio animae infra istam, quae
3591 quidem fit per organum corporale, non tamen per aliquam corpoream
3592 qualitatem. Et talis est operatio animae sensibilis, quia etsi
3593 calidum et frigidum, et humidum et siccum, et aliae huiusmodi
3594 qualitates corporeae requirantur ad operationem sensus; non tamen
3595 ita quod mediante virtute talium qualitatum operatio animae
3596 sensibilis procedat; sed requiruntur solum ad debitam dispositionem
3597 organi. Infima autem operationum animae est, quae fit per organum
3598 corporeum, et virtute corporeae qualitatis. Supergreditur tamen
3599 operationem naturae corporeae, quia motiones corporum sunt ab
3600 exteriori principio, huiusmodi autem operationes sunt a principio
3601 intrinseco; hoc enim commune est omnibus operationibus animae; omne
3602 enim animatum aliquo modo movet seipsum. Et talis est operatio
3603 animae vegetabilis, digestio enim, et ea quae consequuntur, fit
3604 instrumentaliter per actionem caloris, ut dicitur in II de anima.
3605 </p></div></div><div class="bilingual"><div class="eng"><p class="english" id="FP_Q78_A1-p8"> Now the powers of the soul are distinguished generically by their objects. For the higher a power is, the more universal
3606 is the object to which it extends, as we have said above (
3607 <a href="#FP_Q77_A3" id="FP_Q78_A1-p8.1" shape="rect">Q[77], A[3]</a>, ad 4). But the object of the soul's operation may be considered in a triple order. For in the soul there is a power the
3608 object of which is only the body that is united to that soul; the powers of this genus are called "vegetative" for the vegetative
3609 power acts only
3610 on the body to which the soul is united. There is another genus in the powers of the soul, which genus regards a more universal
3611 object---namely, every sensible body, not only the body to which the soul is united. And there is yet another genus in the
3612 powers of the soul, which genus regards a still more universal object---namely, not only the sensible body, but all being
3613 in universal. Wherefore it is evident that the latter two genera of the soul's powers have an operation in regard not merely
3614 to that which is united to them, but also to something extrinsic. Now, since whatever operates must in some way be united
3615 to the object about which it operates, it follows of necessity that this something extrinsic, which is the object of the soul's
3616 operation, must be related to the soul in a twofold manner. First, inasmuch as this something extrinsic has a natural aptitude
3617 to be united to the soul, and to be by its likeness in the soul. In this way there are two kinds of powers ---namely, the
3618 "sensitive" in regard to the less common object---the sensible body; and the "intellectual," in regard to the most common
3619 object---universal being. Secondly, forasmuch as the soul itself has an inclination and tendency to the something extrinsic.
3620 And in this way there are again two kinds of powers in the soul: one---the "appetitive"---in respect of which the soul is
3621 referred to something extrinsic as to an end, which is first in the intention; the other---the "locomotive" power---in respect
3622 of
3623 which the soul is referred to something extrinsic as to the term of its operation and movement; for every animal is moved
3624 for the purpose of realizing its desires and intentions.
3625 <p id="FP_Q78_A1-p9"> The modes of living are distinguished according to the degrees of living things. There are some living things in which there
3626 exists only vegetative power, as the plants. There are others in which with the vegetative there exists also the sensitive,
3627 but not the locomotive power; such as immovable animals, as shellfish. There are others which besides this have locomotive
3628 powers, as perfect animals, which require many things for their life, and consequently movement to seek
3629 necessaries of life from a distance. And there are some living things which with these have intellectual power---namely, men.
3630 But the appetitive power does not constitute a degree of living things; because wherever there is sense there is also appetite
3631 (De Anima ii, 3).</p>
3632 <p id="FP_Q78_A1-p10"> Thus the first two objectives are hereby solved.</p>
3633 </p></div><div class="lat"><p class="latin" title="I q. 78 a. 1 ad 1"><a name="31678" shape="rect"><span class="ref">[31678] Iª q. 78 a. 1 ad 1</span></a>Genera vero potentiarum animae distinguuntur secundum obiecta.
3634 Quanto enim potentia est altior, tanto respicit universalius
3635 obiectum, ut supra dictum est. Obiectum autem operationis animae in
3636 triplici ordine potest considerari. Alicuius enim potentiae animae
3637 obiectum est solum corpus animae unitum. Et hoc genus potentiarum
3638 animae dicitur vegetativum, non enim vegetativa potentia agit nisi
3639 in corpus cui anima unitur. Est autem aliud genus potentiarum
3640 animae, quod respicit universalius obiectum, scilicet omne corpus
3641 sensibile; et non solum corpus animae unitum. Est autem aliud genus
3642 potentiarum animae, quod respicit adhuc universalius obiectum,
3643 scilicet non solum corpus sensibile, sed universaliter omne ens. Ex
3644 quo patet quod ista duo secunda genera potentiarum animae habent
3645 operationem non solum respectu rei coniunctae, sed etiam respectu
3646 rei extrinsecae. Cum autem operans oporteat aliquo modo coniungi
3647 suo obiecto circa quod operatur, necesse est extrinsecam rem, quae
3648 est obiectum operationis animae, secundum duplicem rationem ad
3649 animam comparari. Uno modo, secundum quod nata est animae coniungi
3650 et in anima esse per suam similitudinem. Et quantum ad hoc, sunt
3651 duo genera potentiarum, scilicet sensitivum, respectu obiecti minus
3652 communis, quod est corpus sensibile; et intellectivum, respectu
3653 obiecti communissimi, quod est ens universale. Alio vero modo,
3654 secundum quod ipsa anima inclinatur et tendit in rem exteriorem. Et
3655 secundum hanc etiam comparationem, sunt duo genera potentiarum
3656 animae, unum quidem, scilicet appetitivum, secundum quod anima
3657 comparatur ad rem extrinsecam ut ad finem, qui est primum in
3658 intentione; aliud autem motivum secundum locum, prout anima
3659 comparatur ad rem exteriorem sicut ad terminum operationis et
3660 motus; ad consequendum enim aliquod desideratum et intentum, omne
3661 animal movetur. Modi vero vivendi distinguuntur secundum gradus
3662 viventium. Quaedam enim viventia sunt, in quibus est tantum
3663 vegetativum, sicut in plantis. Quaedam vero, in quibus cum
3664 vegetativo est etiam sensitivum, non tamen motivum secundum locum;
3665 sicut sunt immobilia animalia, ut conchilia. Quaedam vero sunt,
3666 quae supra hoc habent motivum secundum locum; ut perfecta animalia,
3667 quae multis indigent ad suam vitam, et ideo indigent motu, ut vitae
3668 necessaria procul posita quaerere possint. Quaedam vero viventia
3669 sunt, in quibus cum his est intellectivum, scilicet in hominibus.
3670 Appetitivum autem non constituit aliquem gradum viventium, quia in
3671 quibuscumque est sensus, est etiam appetitus, ut dicitur in II

3674 <b>Reply to Objection 3:</b> The "natural appetite" is that inclination which each thing has, of its own nature, for something; wherefore by its natural
3675 appetite each power desires something suitable to itself. But the "animal appetite" results from the form apprehended; this
3676 sort of appetite requires a special power of the soul---mere apprehension does not suffice. For a thing is desired as it exists
3677 in its own nature, whereas in the apprehensive power it exists not according to
3678 its own nature, but according to its likeness. Whence it is clear that sight desires naturally a visible object for the purpose
3679 of its act only---namely, for the purpose of seeing; but the animal by the appetitive power desires the thing seen, not merely
3680 for the purpose of seeing it, but also for other purposes. But if the soul did not require things perceived by the senses,
3681 except on account of the actions of the senses, that is, for the purpose of sensing them; there would be no need for a
3682 special genus of appetitive powers, since the natural appetite of the powers would suffice.

3693 appetitivam, non solum ad videndum, sed etiam ad alios usus. Si

3698 <b>Reply to Objection 4:</b> Although sense and appetite are principles of movement in perfect animals, yet sense and appetite, as such, are not sufficient
3699 to cause movement, unless another power be added to them; for immovable animals have sense and appetite, and yet they have
3700 not the power of motion. Now this motive power is not only in the appetite and sense as commanding the movement, but also
3701 in the parts of the body, to make them obey the appetite of the soul which moves
3702 them. Of this we have a sign in the fact that when the members are deprived of their natural disposition, they do not move

5995 <b>Objection 2:</b> Further, intellectual knowledge is of universals; and so it is distinct from sensitive knowledge, which is of individual

6019 <b>I answer that,</b> We must needs say that the intellectual appetite is a distinct power from the sensitive appetite. For the appetitive power
6020 is a passive power, which is naturally moved by the thing apprehended: wherefore the apprehended appetible is a mover which
6021 is not moved, while the appetite is a mover moved, as the Philosopher says in De Anima iii, 10 and Metaph. xii (Did. xi, 7).
6022 Now things passive and movable are differentiated according to the distinction of the
6023 corresponding active and motive principles; because the motive must be proportionate to the movable, and the active to the
6024 passive: indeed, the passive power itself has its very nature from its relation to its active principle. Therefore, since
6025 what is apprehended by the intellect and what is apprehended by sense are generically different; consequently, the intellectual
6026 appetite is distinct from the sensitive.

6028 quod necesse est dicere appetitum intellectivum esse aliam

6031 apprehensum est movens non motum, appetitus autem movens motum, ut
6032 dicitur in III de anima, et XII Metaphys. Passiva autem et mobilia
6033 distinguuntur secundum distinctionem activorum et motivorum, quia
6034 oportet motivum esse proportionatum mobili, et activum passivo; et
6035 ipsa potentia passiva propriam rationem habet ex ordine ad suum
6036 activum. Quia igitur est alterius generis apprehensum per

6039 <b>Reply to Objection 1:</b> It is not accidental to the thing desired to be apprehended by the sense or the intellect; on the contrary, this belongs
6040 to it by its nature; for the appetible does not move the appetite except as it is apprehended. Wherefore differences in the
6041 thing apprehended are of themselves differences of the appetible. And so the appetitive powers are distinct according to the
6042 distinction of the things apprehended, as their proper objects.

6050 <b>Reply to Objection 2:</b> The intellectual appetite, though it tends to individual things which exist outside the soul, yet tends to them as standing
6051 under the universal; as when it desires something because it is good. Wherefore the Philosopher says (Rhetoric. ii, 4) that
6052 hatred can regard a universal, as when "we hate every kind of thief." In the same way by the intellectual appetite we may
6053 desire the immaterial good, which is not apprehended by sense, such as knowledge,

8156 known must itself be known more and previously. But the intellectual soul of man, in the present state of life, does not know
8157 the eternal types: for it does not know God in Whom the eternal types exist, but is "united to God as to the unknown," as
8158 Dionysius says (Myst. Theolog. i). Therefore the soul does not know all in the eternal
8159 types.

8198 <b>I answer that,</b> As Augustine says (De Doctr. Christ. ii, 11): "If those who are called philosophers said by chance anything that was true
8199 and consistent with our faith, we must claim it from them as from unjust possessors. For some of the doctrines of the heathens
8200 are spurious imitations or superstitious inventions, which we must be careful to avoid when we renounce the society of the
8201 heathens." Consequently whenever Augustine, who was imbued with the doctrines of the
8202 Platonists, found in their teaching anything consistent with faith, he adopted it: and those thing which he found contrary
8203 to faith he amended. Now Plato held, as we have said above
8204 <a href="#FP_Q84_A4" id="FP_Q84_A5-p6.1" shape="rect">(A[4])</a>, that the forms of things subsist of themselves apart from matter; and these he called ideas, by participation of which he
8205 said that our intellect knows all things: so that just as corporeal matter by participating the idea of a stone becomes a
8206 stone, so our intellect, by
8207 participating the same idea, has knowledge of a stone. But since it seems contrary to faith that forms of things themselves,
8208 outside the things themselves and apart from matter, as the Platonists held, asserting that "per se" life or "per se" wisdom
8209 are creative substances, as Dionysius relates (Div. Nom. xi); therefore Augustine (QQ. 83, qu. 46), for the ideas defended
8210 by Plato, substituted the types of all creatures existing in the Divine mind, according to which types all things are made
8211 in
8212 themselves, and are known to the human soul.

8214 quod, sicut Augustinus dicit in II de Doctr. Christ., <i>philosophi
8215 qui vocantur, si qua forte vera et fidei nostrae accommoda
8216 dixerunt, ab eis tanquam ab iniustis possessoribus in usum nostrum
8217 vindicanda sunt. Habent enim doctrinae gentilium quaedam simulata
8218 et superstitiosa figmenta, quae unusquisque nostrum de societate
8219 gentilium exiens, debet evitare</i>. Et ideo Augustinus, qui
8220 doctrinis Platonicorum imbutus fuerat, si qua invenit fidei
8221 accommoda in eorum dictis, assumpsit; quae vero invenit fidei
8222 nostrae adversa, in melius commutavit. Posuit autem Plato, sicut
8223 supra dictum est, formas rerum per se subsistere a materia
8224 separatas, quas ideas vocabat, per quarum participationem dicebat
8225 intellectum nostrum omnia cognoscere; ut sicut materia corporalis
8226 per participationem ideae lapidis fit lapis, ita intellectus noster
8227 per participationem eiusdem ideae cognosceret lapidem. Sed quia
8228 videtur esse alienum a fide quod formae rerum extra res per se
8229 subsistant absque materia, sicut Platonici posuerunt, dicentes per
8230 se vitam aut per se sapientiam esse quasdam substantias creatrices,
8231 ut Dionysius dicit XI cap. de Div. Nom.; ideo Augustinus, in libro
8232 octoginta trium quaest., posuit loco harum idearum quas Plato
8233 ponebat, rationes omnium creaturarum in mente divina existere,
8234 secundum quas omnia formantur, et secundum quas etiam anima humana
8235 omnia cognoscit.</p></div></div><div class="bilingual"><div class="eng"><p class="english" id="FP_Q84_A5-p7"> When, therefore, the question is asked: Does the human soul know all things in the eternal types? we must reply that one
8236 thing is said to be known in another in two ways. First, as in an object itself known; as one may see in a mirror the images
8237 of things reflected therein. In this way the soul, in the present state of life, cannot see all things in the eternal types;
8238 but the blessed who see God, and all things in Him, thus know all things in the eternal types. Secondly, on
8239 thing is said to be known in another as in a principle of knowledge: thus we might say that we see in the sun what we see
8240 by the sun. And thus we must needs say that the human soul knows all things in the eternal types, since by participation of
8241 these types we know all things. For the intellectual light itself which is in us, is nothing else than a participated likeness
8242 of the uncreated light, in which are contained the eternal types. Whence it is written (
8243 <a class="scripRef" id="FP_Q84_A5-p7.1" href="./asv.html#Ps.4.6" target="asv">Ps. 4:6,7</a>), "Many
8244 say: Who showeth us good things?" which question the Psalmist answers, "The light of Thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon
8245 us," as though he were to say: By the seal of the Divine light in us, all things are made known to us.
8246 </p></div><div class="lat"><p class="latin">Cum ergo quaeritur utrum anima humana in
8247 rationibus aeternis omnia cognoscat, dicendum est quod aliquid in
8248 aliquo dicitur cognosci dupliciter. Uno modo, sicut in obiecto
8249 cognito; sicut aliquis videt in speculo ea quorum imagines in
8250 speculo resultant. Et hoc modo anima, in statu praesentis vitae,
8251 non potest videre omnia in rationibus aeternis; sed sic in
8252 rationibus aeternis cognoscunt omnia beati, qui Deum vident et
8253 omnia in ipso. Alio modo dicitur aliquid cognosci in aliquo sicut
8254 in cognitionis principio; sicut si dicamus quod in sole videntur ea
8255 quae videntur per solem. Et sic necesse est dicere quod anima
8256 humana omnia cognoscat in rationibus aeternis, per quarum
8257 participationem omnia cognoscimus. Ipsum enim lumen intellectuale
8258 quod est in nobis, nihil est aliud quam quaedam participata
8259 similitudo luminis increati, in quo continentur rationes aeternae.

8265 in order for us to have knowledge of material things; therefore this same knowledge is not due merely to a participation of
8266 the eternal types, as the Platonists held, maintaining that the mere participation of ideas sufficed for knowledge. Wherefore
8267 Augustine says (De Trin. iv, 16): "Although the philosophers prove by convincing arguments that all things
8268 occur in time according to the eternal types, were they able to see in the eternal types, or to find out from them how many
8269 kinds of animals there are and the origin of each? Did they not seek for this information from the story of times and places?"

8274 rebus materialibus notitiam habemus, sicut Platonici posuerunt quod
8275 sola idearum participatio sufficit ad scientiam habendam. Unde
8276 Augustinus dicit, in IV de Trin., <i>numquid quia philosophi

9664 <b>I answer that,</b> The Philosopher (De Anima iii, 6) compares intellect with sense on this point. For sense is not deceived in its proper object,
9665 as sight in regard to color; has accidentally through some hindrance occurring to the sensile organ---for example, the taste
9666 of a fever-stricken person judges a sweet thing to be bitter, through his tongue being vitiated by ill humors. Sense, however,
9667 may be deceived as regards common sensible objects, as size or figure; when, for
9668 example, it judges the sun to be only a foot in diameter, whereas in reality it exceeds the earth in size. Much more is sense
9669 deceived concerning accidental sensible objects, as when it judges that vinegar is honey by reason of the color being the
9670 same. The reason of this is evident; for every faculty, as such, is "per se" directed to its proper object; and things of
9671 this kind are always the same. Hence, as long as the faculty exists, its judgment concerning its own proper object does not
9672 fail.
9673 Now the proper object of the intellect is the "quiddity" of a material thing; and hence, properly speaking, the intellect
9674 is not at fault concerning this quiddity; whereas it may go astray as regards the surroundings of the thing in its essence
9675 or quiddity, in referring one thing to another, as regards composition or division, or also in the process of reasoning. Therefore,
9676 also in regard to those propositions, which are understood, the intellect cannot err, as in the case of first principles
9677 from which arises infallible truth in the certitude of scientific conclusions.
9678 </p><p id="FP_Q85_A6-p7"> The intellect, however, may be accidentally deceived in the quiddity of composite things, not by the defect of its organ,
9679 for the intellect is a faculty that is independent of an organ; but on the part of the composition affecting the definition,
9680 when, for instance, the definition of a thing is false in relation to something else, as the definition of a circle applied
9681 to a triangle; or when a definition is false in itself as involving the composition of things incompatible; as,
9682 for instance, to describe anything as "a rational winged animal." Hence as regards simple objects not subject to composite
9683 definitions we cannot be deceived unless, indeed, we understand nothing whatever about them, as is said Metaph. ix, Did. viii,
9684 10.

9686 quod philosophus, in III de anima, comparat, quantum ad hoc,
9687 intellectum sensui. Sensus enim circa proprium obiectum non
9688 decipitur, sicut visus circa colorem; nisi forte per accidens, ex
9689 impedimento circa organum contingente, sicut cum gustus febrientium
9690 dulcia iudicat amara, propter hoc quod lingua malis humoribus est
9691 repleta. Circa sensibilia vero communia decipitur sensus, sicut in
9692 diiudicando de magnitudine vel figura; ut cum iudicat solem esse
9693 pedalem, qui tamen est maior terra. Et multo magis decipitur circa
9694 sensibilia per accidens; ut cum iudicat fel esse mel, propter
9695 coloris similitudinem. Et huius ratio est in evidenti. Quia ad
9696 proprium obiectum unaquaeque potentia per se ordinatur, secundum
9697 quod ipsa. Quae autem sunt huiusmodi, semper eodem modo se habent.
9698 Unde manente potentia, non deficit eius iudicium circa proprium
9699 obiectum. Obiectum autem proprium intellectus est quidditas rei.
9700 Unde circa quidditatem rei, per se loquendo, intellectus non
9701 fallitur. Sed circa ea quae circumstant rei essentiam vel
9702 quidditatem, intellectus potest falli, dum unum ordinat ad aliud,
9703 vel componendo vel dividendo vel etiam ratiocinando. Et propter hoc
9704 etiam circa illas propositiones errare non potest, quae statim
9705 cognoscuntur cognita terminorum quidditate, sicut accidit circa
9706 prima principia, ex quibus etiam accidit infallibilitas veritatis,
9707 secundum certitudinem scientiae, circa conclusiones. Per accidens
9708 tamen contingit intellectum decipi circa quod quid est in rebus
9709 compositis; non ex parte organi, quia intellectus non est virtus
9710 utens organo; sed ex parte compositionis intervenientis circa
9711 definitionem, dum vel definitio unius rei est falsa de alia, sicut
9712 definitio circuli de triangulo, vel dum aliqua definitio in seipsa

9766 <b>I answer that,</b> A thing being understood more by one than by another may be taken in two senses. First, so that the word "more" be taken
9767 as determining the act of understanding as regards the thing understood; and thus, one cannot understand the same thing more
9768 than another, because to understand it otherwise than as it is, either better or worse, would entail being deceived, and such
9769 a one would not understand it, as Augustine argues (QQ. 83, qu. 32). In another sense the
9770 word "more" can be taken as determining the act of understanding on the part of him who understands; and so one may understand
9771 the same thing better than someone else, through having a greater power of understanding: just as a man may see a thing better
9772 with his bodily sight, whose power is greater, and whose sight is more perfect. The same applies to the intellect in two ways.
9773 First, as regards the intellect itself, which is more perfect. For it is plain that the better the disposition of a
9774 body, the better the soul allotted to it; which clearly appears in things of different species: and the reason thereof is
9775 that act and form are received into matter according to matter's capacity: thus because some men have bodies of better disposition,
9776 their souls have a greater power of understanding, wherefore it is said (De Anima ii, 9), that "it is to be observed that
9777 those who have soft flesh are of apt mind." Secondly, this occurs in regard to the lower powers of which the intellect has
9778 need in its operation: for those in whom the imaginative, cogitative, and memorative powers are of better disposition, are
9779 better disposed to understand.

9781 quod aliquem intelligere unam et eandem rem magis quam alium,

9784 eandem rem magis intelligere quam alius, quia si intelligeret eam
9785 aliter esse quam sit, vel melius vel peius, falleretur, et non

11436 <b>I answer that,</b> The difficulty in solving this question arises from the fact that the soul united to the body can understand only by turning
11437 to the phantasms, as experience shows. Did this not proceed from the soul's very nature, but accidentally through its being
11438 bound up with the body, as the Platonists said, the difficulty would vanish; for in that case when the body was once removed,
11439 the soul would at once return to its own nature, and would understand intelligible
11440 things simply, without turning to the phantasms, as is exemplified in the case of other separate substances. In that case,
11441 however, the union of soul and body would not be for the soul's good, for evidently it would understand worse in the body
11442 than out of it; but for the good of the body, which would be unreasonable, since matter exists on account of the form, and
11443 not the form for the sake of matter. But if we admit that the nature of the soul requires it to understand by turning to the
11444 phantasms, it will seem, since death does not change its nature, that it can then naturally understand nothing; as the phantasms
11445 are wanting to which it may turn.
11446 </p><p id="FP_Q89_A1-p7"> To solve this difficulty we must consider that as nothing acts except so far as it is actual, the mode of action in every
11447 agent follows from its mode of existence. Now the soul has one mode of being when in the body, and another when apart from
11448 it, its nature remaining always the same; but this does not mean that its union with the body is an accidental thing, for,
11449 on the contrary, such union belongs to its very nature, just as the nature of a light object is not changed, when
11450 it is in its proper place, which is natural to it, and outside its proper place, which is beside its nature. The soul, therefore,
11451 when united to the body, consistently with that mode of existence, has a mode of understanding, by turning to corporeal phantasms,
11452 which are in corporeal organs; but when it is separated from the body, it has a mode of understanding, by turning to simply
11453 intelligible objects, as is proper to other separate substances. Hence it is as natural for the soul to understand
11454 by turning to the phantasms as it is for it to be joined to the body; but to be separated from the body is not in accordance
11455 with its nature, and likewise to understand without turning to the phantasms is not natural to it; and hence it is united
11456 to the body in order that it may have an existence and an operation suitable to its nature. But here again a difficulty arises.
11457 For since nature is always ordered to what is best, and since it is better to understand by turning to simply intelligible
11458 objects than by turning to the phantasms; God should have ordered the soul's nature so that the nobler way of understanding
11459 would have been natural to it, and it would not have needed the body for that purpose.
11460 </p><p id="FP_Q89_A1-p8"> In order to resolve this difficulty we must consider that while it is true that it is nobler in itself to understand by turning
11461 to something higher than to understand by turning to phantasms, nevertheless such a mode of understanding was not so perfect
11462 as regards what was possible to the soul. This will appear if we consider that every intellectual substance possesses intellective
11463 power by the influence of the Divine light, which is one and simple in its first principle, and the
11464 farther off intellectual creatures are from the first principle so much the more is the light divided and diversified, as
11465 is the case with lines radiating from the centre of a circle. Hence it is that God by His one Essence understands all things;
11466 while the superior intellectual substances understand by means of a number of species, which nevertheless are fewer and more
11467 universal and bestow a deeper comprehension of things, because of the efficaciousness of the intellectual power of such
11468 natures: whereas the inferior intellectual natures possess a greater number of species, which are less universal, and bestow
11469 a lower degree of comprehension, in proportion as they recede from the intellectual power of the higher natures. If, therefore,
11470 the inferior substances received species in the same degree of universality as the superior substances, since they are not
11471 so strong in understanding, the knowledge which they would derive through them would be imperfect, and of a general and
11472 confused nature. We can see this to a certain extent in man, for those who are of weaker intellect fail to acquire perfect
11473 knowledge through the universal conceptions of those who have a better understanding, unless things are explained to them
11474 singly and in detail. Now it is clear that in the natural order human souls hold the lowest place among intellectual substances.
11475 But the perfection of the universe required various grades of being. If, therefore, God had willed souls to understand in
11476 the
11477 same way as separate substances, it would follow that human knowledge, so far from being perfect, would be confused and general.
11478 Therefore to make it possible for human souls to possess perfect and proper knowledge, they were so made that their nature
11479 required them to be joined to bodies, and thus to receive the proper and adequate knowledge of sensible things from the sensible
11480 things themselves; thus we see in the case of uneducated men that they have to be taught by sensible examples.
11481 </p><p id="FP_Q89_A1-p9"> It is clear then that it was for the soul's good that it was united to a body, and that it understands by turning to the
11482 phantasms. Nevertheless it is possible for it to exist apart from the body, and also to understand in another way.

11484 quod ista quaestio difficultatem habet ex hoc quod anima, quandiu
11485 est corpori coniuncta, non potest aliquid intelligere nisi
11486 convertendo se ad phantasmata, ut per experimentum patet. Si autem
11487 hoc non est ex natura animae, sed per accidens hoc convenit ei ex
11488 eo quod corpori alligatur, sicut Platonici posuerunt, de facili
11489 quaestio solvi posset. Nam remoto impedimento corporis, rediret
11490 anima ad suam naturam, ut intelligeret intelligibilia simpliciter,
11491 non convertendo se ad phantasmata, sicut est de aliis substantiis
11492 separatis. Sed secundum hoc, non esset anima corpori unita propter
11493 melius animae, si peius intelligeret corpori unita quam separata;
11494 sed hoc esset solum propter melius corporis, quod est
11495 irrationabile, cum materia sit propter formam, et non e converso.
11496 Si autem ponamus quod anima ex sua natura habeat ut intelligat
11497 convertendo se ad phantasmata, cum natura animae per mortem
11498 corporis non mutetur, videtur quod anima naturaliter nihil possit
11499 intelligere, cum non sint ei praesto phantasmata ad quae
11500 convertatur. Et ideo ad hanc difficultatem tollendam, considerandum
11501 est quod, cum nihil operetur nisi inquantum est actu, modus
11502 operandi uniuscuiusque rei sequitur modum essendi ipsius. Habet
11503 autem anima alium modum essendi cum unitur corpori, et cum fuerit a
11504 corpore separata, manente tamen eadem animae natura; non ita quod
11505 uniri corpori sit ei accidentale, sed per rationem suae naturae
11506 corpori unitur; sicut nec levis natura mutatur cum est in loco
11507 proprio, quod est ei naturale, et cum est extra proprium locum,
11508 quod est ei praeter naturam. Animae igitur secundum illum modum
11509 essendi quo corpori est unita, competit modus intelligendi per
11510 conversionem ad phantasmata corporum, quae in corporeis organis
11511 sunt, cum autem fuerit a corpore separata, competit ei modus
11512 intelligendi per conversionem ad ea quae sunt intelligibilia
11513 simpliciter, sicut et aliis substantiis separatis. Unde modus
11514 intelligendi per conversionem ad phantasmata est animae naturalis,
11515 sicut et corpori uniri, sed esse separatum a corpore est praeter
11516 rationem suae naturae, et similiter intelligere sine conversione ad
11517 phantasmata est ei praeter naturam. Et ideo ad hoc unitur corpori,
11518 ut sit et operetur secundum naturam suam. Sed hoc rursus habet
11519 dubitationem. Cum enim natura semper ordinetur ad id quod melius
11520 est; est autem melior modus intelligendi per conversionem ad
11521 intelligibilia simpliciter, quam per conversionem ad phantasmata,
11522 debuit sic a Deo institui animae natura, ut modus intelligendi
11523 nobilior ei esset naturalis, et non indigeret corpori propter hoc
11524 uniri. Considerandum est igitur quod, etsi intelligere per
11525 conversionem ad superiora sit simpliciter nobilius quam intelligere
11526 per conversionem ad phantasmata; tamen ille modus intelligendi,
11527 prout erat possibilis animae, erat imperfectior. Quod sic patet. In
11528 omnibus enim substantiis intellectualibus invenitur virtus
11529 intellectiva per influentiam divini luminis. Quod quidem in primo
11530 principio est unum et simplex; et quanto magis creaturae
11531 intellectuales distant a primo principio, tanto magis dividitur
11532 illud lumen et diversificatur, sicut accidit in lineis a centro
11533 egredientibus. Et inde est quod Deus per unam suam essentiam omnia
11534 intelligit; superiores autem intellectualium substantiarum, etsi
11535 per plures formas intelligant, tamen intelligunt per pauciores, et
11536 magis universales, et virtuosiores ad comprehensionem rerum,
11537 propter efficaciam virtutis intellectivae quae est in eis; in
11538 inferioribus autem sunt formae plures, et minus universales, et
11539 minus efficaces ad comprehensionem rerum, inquantum deficiunt a
11540 virtute intellectiva superiorum. Si ergo inferiores substantiae
11541 haberent formas in illa universalitate in qua habent superiores,
11542 quia non sunt tantae efficaciae in intelligendo, non acciperent per
11543 eas perfectam cognitionem de rebus, sed in quadam communitate et
11544 confusione. Quod aliqualiter apparet in hominibus, nam qui sunt
11545 debilioris intellectus, per universales conceptiones magis
11546 intelligentium non accipiunt perfectam cognitionem, nisi eis
11547 singula in speciali explicentur. Manifestum est autem inter
11548 substantias intellectuales, secundum naturae ordinem, infimas esse
11549 animas humanas. Hoc autem perfectio universi exigebat, ut diversi
11550 gradus in rebus essent. Si igitur animae humanae sic essent
11551 institutae a Deo ut intelligerent per modum qui competit
11552 substantiis separatis, non haberent cognitionem perfectam, sed
11553 confusam in communi. Ad hoc ergo quod perfectam et propriam
11554 cognitionem de rebus habere possent, sic naturaliter sunt
11555 institutae ut corporibus uniantur, et sic ab ipsis rebus
11556 sensibilibus propriam de eis cognitionem accipiant; sicut homines
11557 rudes ad scientiam induci non possunt nisi per sensibilia exempla.
11558 Sic ergo patet quod propter melius animae est ut corpori uniatur,
11559 et intelligat per conversionem ad phantasmata; et tamen esse potest
11560 separata, et alium modum intelligendi habere.</p></div></div><div class="bilingual"><div class="eng"><p class="english" id="FP_Q89_A1-p10">

13517 <b>Reply to Objection 1:</b> Some say that the woman's body was formed by a material increase, without anything being added; in the same way as our Lord
13518 multiplied the five loaves. But this is quite impossible. For such an increase of matter would either be by a change of the
13519 very substance of the matter itself, or by a change of its dimensions. Not by change of the substance of the matter, both
13520 because matter, considered in itself, is quite unchangeable, since it has a potential
13521 existence, and has nothing but the nature of a subject, and because quantity and size are extraneous to the essence of matter
13522 itself. Wherefore multiplication of matter is quite unintelligible, as long as the matter itself remains the same without
13523 anything added to it; unless it receives greater dimensions. This implies rarefaction, which is for the same matter to receive
13524 greater dimensions, as the Philosopher says (Phys. iv). To say, therefore, that the same matter is enlarged, without being
13525 rarefied, is to combine contradictories ---viz. the definition with the absence of the thing defined.
13526 </p><p id="FP_Q92_A3-p8"> Wherefore, as no rarefaction is apparent in such multiplication of matter, we must admit an addition of matter: either by
13527 creation, or which is more probable, by conversion. Hence Augustine says (Tract. xxiv in Joan.) that "Christ filled five thousand
13528 men with five loaves, in the same way as from a few seeds He produces the harvest of corn"---that is, by transformation of
13529 the nourishment. Nevertheless, we say that the crowds were fed with five loaves, or that woman was made from
13530 the rib, because an addition was made to the already existing matter of the loaves and of the rib.

14990 <b>I answer that,</b> The state of the human soul may be distinguished in two ways. First, from a diversity of mode in its natural existence; and
14991 in this point the state of the separate soul is distinguished from the state of the soul joined to the body. Secondly, the
14992 state of the soul is distinguished in relation to integrity and corruption, the state of natural existence remaining the same:
14993 and thus the state of innocence is distinct from the state of man after sin. For man's
14994 soul, in the state of innocence, was adapted to perfect and govern the body; wherefore the first man is said to have been
14995 made into a "living soul"; that is, a soul giving life to the body---namely animal life. But he was endowed with integrity
14996 as to this life, in that the body was entirely subject to the soul, hindering it in no way, as we have said above
14997 <a href="#FP_Q94_A1" id="FP_Q94_A2-p6.1" shape="rect">(A[1])</a>. Now it is clear from what has been already said (
14998 <a href="#FP_Q84_A7" id="FP_Q94_A2-p6.2" shape="rect">Q[84], A[7]</a>;
14999 <a href="#FP_Q85_A1" id="FP_Q94_A2-p6.3" shape="rect">Q[85], A[1]</a>;
15000 <a href="#FP_Q89_A1" id="FP_Q94_A2-p6.4" shape="rect">Q[89], A[1]</a>) that since the soul is adapted to perfect and govern the body, as regards animal life, it is fitting that it should have
15001 that mode of understanding which is by turning to phantasms. Wherefore this mode of understanding was becoming to the soul
15002 of the first man also.
15003 </p><p id="FP_Q94_A2-p7"> Now, in virtue of this mode of understanding, there are three degrees of movement in the soul, as Dionysius says (Div. Nom.
15004 iv). The first is by the soul "passing from exterior things to concentrate its powers on itself"; the second is by the soul
15005 ascending "so as to be associated with the united superior powers," namely the angels; the third is when the soul is "led
15006 on" yet further "to the supreme good," that is, to God.
15007 </p><p id="FP_Q94_A2-p8"> In virtue of the first movement of the soul from exterior things to itself, the soul's knowledge is perfected. This is because
15008 the intellectual operation of the soul has a natural order to external things, as we have said above (
15009 <a href="#FP_Q87_A3" id="FP_Q94_A2-p8.1" shape="rect">Q[87], A[3]</a>): and so by the knowledge thereof, our intellectual operation can be known perfectly, as an act through its object. And through
15010 the intellectual operation itself, the human intellect can be known perfectly, as a power
15011 through its proper act. But in the second movement we do not find perfect knowledge. Because, since the angel does not understand
15012 by turning to phantasms, but by a far more excellent process, as we have said above (
15013 <a href="FP_vii.html#FP_Q55_A2" id="FP_Q94_A2-p8.2" shape="rect">Q[55], A[2]</a>); the above-mentioned mode of knowledge, by which the soul knows itself, is not sufficient to lead it to the knowledge of
15014 an angel. Much less does the third movement lead to perfect knowledge: for even the angels themselves, by the fact that they
15015 know themselves, are not able to arrive at the knowledge of the Divine Substance, by reason of its surpassing excellence.
15016 Therefore the soul of the first man could not see the angels in their essence. Nevertheless he had a more excellent mode of
15017 knowledge regarding the angels than we possess, because his knowledge of intelligible things within him was more certain and
15018 fixed than our knowledge. And it was on account of this excellence of knowledge that Gregory says that "he enjoyed the company
15019 of the angelic spirits."

15021 quod status animae hominis distingui potest dupliciter. Uno modo,
15022 secundum diversum modum naturalis esse, et hoc modo distinguitur
15023 status animae separatae, a statu animae coniunctae corpori. Alio
15024 modo distinguitur status animae secundum integritatem et
15025 corruptionem, servato eodem modo essendi secundum naturam, et sic
15026 status innocentiae distinguitur a statu hominis post peccatum.
15027 Anima enim hominis in statu innocentiae erat corpori perficiendo et
15028 gubernando accommodata, sicut et nunc, unde dicitur primus homo
15029 factus fuisse in animam viventem, idest corpori vitam dantem,
15030 scilicet animalem. Sed huius vitae integritatem habebat, inquantum
15031 corpus erat totaliter animae subditum, in nullo ipsam impediens, ut
15032 supra dictum est. Manifestum est autem ex praemissis quod ex hoc
15033 quod anima est accommodata ad corporis gubernationem et
15034 perfectionem secundum animalem vitam, competit animae nostrae talis
15035 modus intelligendi, qui est per conversionem ad phantasmata. Unde
15036 et hic modus intelligendi etiam animae primi hominis competebat.
15037 Secundum autem hunc modum intelligendi, motus quidam invenitur in
15038 anima, ut Dionysius dicit IV cap. de Div. Nom., secundum tres
15039 gradus. Quorum primus est, secundum quod a rebus exterioribus
15040 congregatur anima ad seipsam; secundus autem est, prout anima
15041 ascendit ad hoc quod uniatur virtutibus superioribus unitis,
15042 scilicet Angelis; tertius autem gradus est, secundum quod ulterius
15043 manuducitur ad bonum quod est supra omnia, scilicet Deum. Secundum
15044 igitur primum processum animae, qui est a rebus exterioribus ad
15045 seipsam, perficitur animae cognitio. Quia scilicet intellectualis
15046 operatio animae naturalem ordinem habet ad ea quae sunt extra, ut
15047 supra dictum est, et ita per eorum cognitionem perfecte cognosci
15048 potest nostra intellectualis operatio, sicut actus per obiectum. Et
15049 per ipsam intellectualem operationem perfecte potest cognosci
15050 humanus intellectus, sicut potentia per proprium actum. Sed in
15051 secundo processu non invenitur perfecta cognitio. Quia, cum Angelus
15052 non intelligat per conversionem ad phantasmata, sed longe
15053 eminentiori modo, ut supra dictum est; praedictus modus
15054 cognoscendi, quo anima cognoscit seipsam, non sufficienter ducit in
15055 Angeli cognitionem. Multo autem minus tertius processus ad
15056 perfectam notitiam terminatur, quia etiam ipsi Angeli, per hoc quod
15057 cognoscunt seipsos, non possunt pertingere ad cognitionem divinae
15058 substantiae propter eius excessum. Sic igitur anima primi hominis
15059 non poterat videre Angelos per essentiam. Sed tamen excellentiorem
15060 modum cognitionis habebat de eis, quam nos habeamus, quia eius
15061 cognitio erat magis certa et fixa circa interiora intelligibilia,
15062 quam cognitio nostra. Et propter tantam eminentiam dicit Gregorius
15063 quod intererat Angelorum spiritibus.</p></div></div><div class="bilingual"><div class="eng"><p class="english" id="FP_Q94_A2-p9"><b>Reply to Objection 1:</b> This makes clear the reply to the first objection.</p></div><div class="lat"><p class="latin" title="I q. 94 a. 2 ad 1"><a name="32449" shape="rect"><span class="ref">[32449] Iª q. 94 a. 2 ad 1</span></a> Unde patet solutio

16167 <b>I answer that,</b> Mastership has a twofold meaning. First, as opposed to slavery, in which sense a master means one to whom another is subject
16168 as a slave. In another sense mastership is referred in a general sense to any kind of subject; and in this sense even he who
16169 has the office of governing and directing free men, can be called a master. In the state of innocence man could have been
16170 a master of men, not in the former but in the latter sense. This distinction is founded on
16171 the reason that a slave differs from a free man in that the latter has the disposal of himself, as is stated in the beginning
16172 of the Metaphysics, whereas a slave is ordered to another. So that one man is master of another as his slave when he refers
16173 the one whose master he is, to his own---namely the master's use. And since every man's proper good is desirable to himself,
16174 and consequently it is a grievous matter to anyone to yield to another what ought to be one's own, therefore such dominion
16175 implies of necessity a pain inflicted on the subject; and consequently in the state of innocence such a mastership could not
16176 have existed between man and man.

16195 a kind of mastership would have existed in the state of innocence between man and man, for two reasons. First, because man
16196 is naturally a social being, and so in the state of innocence he would have led a social life. Now a social life cannot exist
16197 among a number of people unless under the presidency of one to look after the common good; for many, as such,
16198 seek many things, whereas one attends only to one. Wherefore the Philosopher says, in the beginning of the Politics, that
16199 wherever many things are directed to one, we shall always find one at the head directing them. Secondly, if one man surpassed

16561 <b>I answer that,</b> The tree of life in a certain degree was the cause of immortality, but not absolutely. To understand this, we must observe
16562 that in the primitive state man possessed, for the preservation of life, two remedies, against two defects. One of these defects
16563 was the lost of humidity by the action of natural heat, which acts as the soul's instrument: as a remedy against such loss
16564 man was provided with food, taken from the other trees of paradise, as now we are
16565 provided with the food, which we take for the same purpose. The second defect, as the Philosopher says (De Gener. i, 5), arises
16566 from the fact that the humor which is caused from extraneous sources, being added to the humor already existing, lessens the
16567 specific active power: as water added to wine takes at first the taste of wine, then, as more water is added, the strength
16568 of the wine is diminished, till the wine becomes watery. In like manner, we may observe that at first the active force of
16569 the species is so strong that it is able to transform so much of the food as is required to replace the lost tissue, as well
16570 as what suffices for growth; later on, however, the assimilated food does not suffice for growth, but only replaces what is
16571 lost. Last of all, in old age, it does not suffice even for this purpose; whereupon the body declines, and finally dies from
16572 natural causes. Against this defect man was provided with a remedy in the tree of life; for its effect was to strengthen the
16573 force of the species against the weakness resulting from the admixture of extraneous nutriment. Wherefore Augustine says (De
16574 Civ. Dei xiv, 26): "Man had food to appease his hunger, drink to slake his thirst; and the tree of life to banish the breaking
16575 up of old age"; and (QQ. Vet. et Nov. Test. qu. 19 [*Work of an anonymous author, among the supposititious works of St. Augustine])
16576 "The tree of life, like a drug, warded off all bodily corruption."

16579 simpliciter. Ad cuius evidentiam, considerandum est quod duo
16580 remedia ad conservationem vitae habebat homo in primo statu, contra
16581 duos defectus. Primus enim defectus est deperditio humidi per
16582 actionem caloris naturalis, qui est animae instrumentum. Et contra
16583 hunc defectum subveniebatur homini per esum aliorum lignorum
16584 Paradisi, sicut et nunc subvenitur nobis, per cibos quos sumimus.
16585 Secundus autem defectus est quia, ut philosophus dicit I de
16586 Generat., illud quod generatur ex aliquo extraneo, adiunctum ei
16587 quod prius erat humido praeexistenti, imminuit virtutem activam
16588 speciei, sicut aqua adiuncta vino, primo quidem convertitur in
16589 saporem vini, sed secundum quod magis et magis additur, diminuit
16590 vini fortitudinem, et tandem vinum fit aquosum. Sic igitur videmus
16591 quod in principio virtus activa speciei est adeo fortis, quod
16592 potest convertere de alimento non solum quod sufficit ad
16593 restaurationem deperditi, sed etiam quod sufficit ad augmentum.
16594 Postmodum vero quod aggeneratur non sufficit ad augmentum, sed
16595 solum ad restaurationem deperditi. Tandem vero, in statu
16596 senectutis, nec ad hoc sufficit, unde sequitur decrementum, et
16597 finaliter naturalis dissolutio corporis. Et contra hunc defectum
16598 subveniebatur homini per lignum vitae, habebat enim virtutem
16599 fortificandi virtutem speciei contra debilitatem provenientem ex
16600 admixtione extranei. Unde Augustinus dicit, in XIV de Civ. Dei,
16601 quod <i>cibus aderat homini ne esuriret, potus ne sitiret, et

16605 tree of life, nor was it of such efficiency as to give the body a disposition to immortality, whereby it might become indissoluble;
16606 which is clear from the fact that every bodily power is finite; so the power of the tree of life could not go so far as to
16607 give the body the prerogative of living for an infinite time, but only for a definite time. For it is
16608 manifest that the greater a force is, the more durable is its effect; therefore, since the power of the tree of life was finite,
16609 man's life was to be preserved for a definite time by partaking of it once; and when that time had elapsed, man was to be
16610 either transferred to a spiritual life, or had need to eat once more of the tree of life.

16980 should not have sufficient strength for the use of their limbs immediately after birth.
16981 Because in proportion to other animals man has naturally a larger brain. Wherefore it is natural, on account of the considerable
16982 humidity of the brain in children, that the nerves which are instruments of movement, should not be apt for moving the limbs.

17000 therefore, in the primitive state it was impossible to find in the human limbs anything repugnant to man's well-ordered will,
17001 so was it impossible for those limbs to fail in executing the will's commands. Now the human will is well ordered when it
17002 tends
17003 to acts which are befitting to man. But the same acts are not befitting to man at every season of life. We must, therefore,
