| 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 | |
| 3672 libro de anima.<br clear="none"/> Et per hoc | |
| 3673 solvuntur duo prima obiecta.</p></div></div><div class="bilingual"><div class="eng"><p class="english" id="FP_Q78_A1-p11"> | |
| 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. | |

| 3701 in the parts of the body, to make them obey the appetite of the soul which moves | |

| 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. | |

| 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 | |

| 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. | |
| 8213 </p></div><div class="lat"><p class="latin" title="I q. 84 a. 5 co."><a name="31985" shape="rect"><span class="ref">[31985] Iª q. 84 a. 5 co.</span></a> Respondeo dicendum | |
| 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. | |
| 8260 Unde in Psalmo IV, dicitur, <i>multi dicunt, quis ostendit nobis | |
| 8261 bona?</i> Cui quaestioni Psalmista respondet, dicens, <i>signatum | |
| 8262 est super nos lumen vultus tui, domine</i>. Quasi dicat, per ipsam | |

| 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 | |
| 9713 est falsa, implicans compositionem impossibilium, ut si accipiatur | |
| 9714 hoc ut definitio alicuius rei, animal rationale alatum. Unde in | |
| 9715 rebus simplicibus, in quarum definitionibus compositio intervenire | |
| 9716 non potest, non possumus decipi; sed deficimus in totaliter non | |

| 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. | |

| 9980 <b>I answer that,</b> Our intellect cannot know the singular in material things directly and primarily. The reason of this is that the principle | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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." | |

| 16578 quod lignum vitae quodammodo immortalitatem causabat, non autem | |
| 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 | |
| 16602 lignum vitae ne senectus eum dissolveret</i>. Et in libro de | |
| 16603 quaest. Vet. et Nov. Test., dicit quod <i>vitae arbor medicinae | |
| 16604 modo corruptionem hominum prohibebat</i>.</p></div></div><div class="bilingual"><div class="eng"><p class="english" id="FP_Q97_A4-p7"> Yet it did not absolutely cause immortality; for neither was the soul's intrinsic power of preserving the body due to the | |
| 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 | |
