Therefore, since bodies produce their like in their own species, much more are angels able to produce something specifically inferior to themselves; and such is the rational soul. 1 - The Nature and Extent of Sacred Doctrine (Ten Articles) Article. But promulgation concerns those who are present. Reply to Objection 3: That the soul remains after the body, is due to a defect of the body, namely, death. Objection 2: Further, the end corresponds to the beginning of things; for God is the beginning and end of all. Therefore the law is directed to some particular good. But man is like to God in his soul. It would seem that law is not something pertaining to reason. Which defect was not due when the soul was first created. 3 - Whether the rational soul is produced by God immediately? summa theologiae - thomas aquinas This page is the beginning of a project to set the whole of Aquinas' Summa Theologiae into parallel Latin-English. Reason has its power of moving from the will, as stated above (I-II:17:1): for it is due to the fact that one wills the end, that the reason issues its commands as regards things ordained to the end. Further, the binding force of a law extends even to the future, since "laws are binding in matters of the future," as the jurists say (Cod. Objection 2. Reply to Objection 3. Objection 2. ii. 1, tit.

But the soul was made by creation; whereas the body was made at the end of the work of adornment. But law is not the power itself of reason. Concerning the production of man, there are three things to be considered: (1) the production of man's soul; (2) the production of man's body; (3) the production of the woman. For the Apostle says (Romans 7:23): "I see another law in my members," etc. Art. First, as in that which measures and rules: and since this is proper to reason, it follows that, in this way, law is in the reason alone. Wherefore the Philosopher, in the above definition of legal matters mentions both happiness and the body politic: for he says (Ethic. 1), "the intention of the lawgiver is to lead men to virtue." QUESTION 13. Aquinas poses some basic questions about what sacra doctrina (sacred teaching) is. And therefore the making of a law belongs either to the whole people or to a public personage who has care of the whole people: since in all other matters the directing of anything to the end concerns him to whom the end belongs. For, as is clear from what has been said (Q[77] , A[2]; Q[79], A[2]; Q[84], A[6]), the human soul is sometimes in a state of potentiality to the act of intelligence ---acquires its knowledge somehow from things---and thus has various powers; all of which are incompatible with the Divine Nature, Which is a pure act---receives nothing from any other---and admits of no variety in itself, as we have proved (Q[3], AA[1],7; Q[9], A[1]). Question 90 – The Production of Man with Respect to his Soul. But the natural law needs no promulgation. Such like universal propositions of the practical intellect that are directed to actions have the nature of law.

The Ultimate End of Human Beings Article 7. Augustine, however (Gen. ad lit. Reply to Objection 1: The soul's simple essence is as the material element, while its participated existence is its formal element; which participated existence necessarily co-exists with the soul's essence, because existence naturally follows the form. And since also the practical reason makes use of a syllogism in respect of the work to be done, as stated above (I-II:13:3; I-II:76:1) and since as the Philosopher teaches (Ethic. third article. 6.1 Questions 84-90; Suppresses … 4, that "laws are established when they are promulgated.". v, 21) that "laws are enacted for no private profit, but for the common benefit of the citizens.".

Wherefore it is competent to be and to be made. Therefore law is nothing pertaining to reason. Nor again is it an act of reason: because then law would cease, when the act of reason ceases, for instance, while we are asleep. In this way, law is in all those things that are inclined to something by reason of some law: so that any inclination arising from a law, may be called a law, not essentially but by participation as it were. Wherefore, in order that a law obtain the binding force which is proper to a law, it must needs be applied to the men who have to be ruled by it.

And these propositions are sometimes under our actual consideration, while sometimes they are retained in the reason by means of a habit. But inferior bodies are produced by means of the superior, as Dionysius says (Div. Now this could be upheld by those who hold that the soul has of itself a complete species and nature, and that it is not united to the body as its form, but as its administrator. I answer that, A law, properly speaking, regards first and foremost the order to the common good. Therefore every law is ordained to the common good. But reason is the foundation not only of what is ordained to the common good, but also of that which is directed to private good. It would seem that the reason of any man is competent to make laws. v, 21) that "laws are enacted for no private profit, but for the common benefit of the citizens." vi, 1 that an accident should be described as "of something rather than as something."

And thus the inclination of the members to concupiscence is called "the law of the members.". Therefore anyone can make a law for himself. 1. It would seem that promulgation is not essential to a law. To date, the best English edition of the Summa theologiae (with notes and commentaries) is the Blackfriars edition (61 vols., Latin and English with notes and introductions, London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, and New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1964–80). Therefore the reason of any man is competent to make laws. Of this opinion we have already spoken (Q[47], A[2]); and so we need say nothing about it here. Just as, in external action, we may consider the work and the work done, for instance the work of building and the house built; so in the acts of reason, we may consider the act itself of reason, i.e. But in the end the soul outlasts the body. On the contrary, Isidore says (Etym. In this sense, although all that differ are diverse, yet all things that are diverse do not differ. But he who breathes sends forth something of himself. But the sovereign of a state can make laws for the state. But, all these theories are impossible, as proved above (Q[3], AA[1],8; and Q[75], A[1]), wherefore it is evidently false that the soul is of the substance of God. Reply to Objection 2: Although the soul is a simple form in its essence, yet it is not its own existence, but is a being by participation, as above explained (Q[75], A[5], ad 4). Objection 1: It would seem that the soul was not made, but was God's substance. Es darf nicht mit … It would seem that the law is not always directed to the common good as to its end. ii). Objection 2. Wherefore the framing of laws belongs to him alone. v. 10): "A law is an ordinance of the people, whereby something is sanctioned by the Elders together with the Commonalty." i, 1. Objection 3. But nothing pertaining to reason is in the members; since the reason does not make use of a bodily organ. 1485, written from 1265–1274; also known as the Summa Theologica or the Summa), as the best-known work of Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274), is a compendium of all of the main theological teachings of the Catholic Church, intended to be an instructional guide for theology students, including seminarians and the … So if there were one ultimate end for all … As one man is a part of the household, so a household is a part of the state: and the state is a perfect community, according to Polit. Since law is a kind of rule and measure, it may be in something in two ways. Objection 1: It would seem that the rational soul is not immediately made by God, but by the instrumentality of the angels. Just as nothing stands firm with regard to the speculative reason except that which is traced back to the first indemonstrable principles, so nothing stands firm with regard to the practical reason, unless it be directed to the last end which is the common good: and whatever stands to reason in this sense, has the nature of a law. Thus from the four preceding articles, the definition of law may be gathered; and it is nothing else than an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community, and promulgated. Further, in the reason there is nothing else but power, habit, and act. First Part of the Second Part (Prima Secundæ Partis) Since, as Damascene states (De Fide Orthod. But promulgation concerns those who are present. Whether the reason of any man is competent to make laws? Objection 2. The natural law is promulgated by the very fact that God instilled it into man's mind so as to be known by him naturally. Now, God alone can create; for the first agent alone can act without presupposing the existence of anything; while the second cause always presupposes something derived from the first cause, as above explained (Q[75], A[3]): and every agent, that presupposes something to its act, acts by making a change therein. But, as the form of the body, it belongs to the animal genus, as a formal principle. Further, law is the director of human acts, as stated above (Question 90, Articles 1 and 2).

The Summa Theologiae (transl. Objection 2. For the work of creation preceded the work of distinction and adornment, as shown above (Q[66], A[1]; Q[70], A[1]). And therefore, as the good of one man is not the last end, but is ordained to the common good; so too the good of one household is ordained to the good of a single state, which is a perfect community. Further, as the Philosopher says (Ethic. Its cause 4. 2. Objection 1. Now the rule and measure of human acts is the reason, which is the first principle of human acts, as is evident from what has been stated above (I-II:1:1 ad 3); since it belongs to the reason to direct to the end, which is the first principle in all matters of action, according to the Philosopher (Phys. v, 3): "If the law is based on reason, whatever is based on reason will be a law." vii, 3); hence we find in the practical reason something that holds the same position in regard to operations, as, in the speculative intellect, the proposition holds in regard to conclusions. Further, as the Philosopher says (Ethic. Now he says this of all in general. Whether promulgation is essential to a law? Objection 2. Wherefore promulgation is necessary for the law to obtain its force. Further, just as the sovereign of a state governs the state, so every father of a family governs his household.

Actions are indeed concerned with particular matters: but those particular matters are referable to the common good, not as to a common genus or species, but as to a common final cause, according as the common good is said to be the common end. For it is clear that God made the first things in their perfect natural state, as their species required. This selection of the Summa Theologica covers questions 60-90 of the Tertia Pars ("Third Part"), comprising a Treatise on the Sacraments: the sacraments in general (questions 60-65) and in particular (questions 66-90), whether on Baptism (66-71), Confirmation (72), Eucharist (53-83), or Penance (84-90) - at which point Aquinas' composition of the Summa ended abruptly. Wherefore, in order that a law obtain the binding force which is proper to a law, it must needs be applied to the men who have to be ruled by it. Article 4. Further, it belongs properly to a law to bind one to do or not to do something. For it is written (Gn. 4, that "laws are established when they are promulgated." https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Summa_Theologiae/First_Part/Question_90&oldid=4317329, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. But in order that the volition of what is commanded may have the nature of law, it needs to be in accord with some rule of reason.

And thus the inclination of the members to concupiscence is called "the law of the members." Moreover, in the material sense, man by breathing does not send forth anything of his own substance, but an extraneous thing. Further, Isidore says (Etym. I answer that, Law is a rule and measure of acts, whereby man is induced to act or is restrained from acting: for "lex" [law] is derived from "ligare" [to bind], because it binds one to act. Aa Aa. You may copy it, give it away or I answer that, As stated above (A[2]; Q[90], A[1], ad 1), the law, as to its essence, resides in him that rules and measures; but, by way of participation, in that which is ruled and measured; so that every inclination or ordination which may be found in things subject to the law, is called a law by participation, as stated above (A[2]; Q[90], A[1] , ad 1). Further, the law directs man in his actions. THE WILL OF GOD QUESTION 20. whether sacred doctrine is a science? Part 2 deals with man and includes discussions of 303 questions concerning the purpose of man, habits, types of law, … Wherefore the framing of laws belongs to him alone. But since the rational soul does not depend in its existence on corporeal matter, and is subsistent, and exceeds the capacity of corporeal matter, as we have seen (Q[75], A[2]), it is not educed from the potentiality of matter. they are a law to themselves." Reply to Objection 1. whether, besides philosophy, any further doctrine is required? But it belongs properly to the will to move to act, as is evident from what has been said above (I-II:9:1). Article… For the natural law above all has the character of law. But human actions are concerned with particular matters. Das ewige Gesetz lex aeterna ist die von der göttlichen Vernunft ausgehende Ordnung des gesamten Kosmos. For that bodies produce their like or something inferior to themselves, and that the higher things lead forward the inferior---all these things are effected through a certain transmutation. Reply to Objection 3. For spiritual things have more order than corporeal things. But the obligation of fulfilling a law touches not only those in whose presence it is promulgated, but also others. leg. Consequenter considerandum est de principiis exterioribus actuum. Therefore the end of the law is not always the common good. Objection 3: Further, "perfect is that which can produce its like," as is stated Metaph. Therefore the law is not only directed to the good of all, but also to the private good of an individual. Objection 2: Further, the rational soul has more in common with the angels than with the brute animals. 2 - Whether the soul was produced by creation?

The reason is because, since to be made is the way to existence, a thing must be made in such a way as is suitable to its mode of existence. Now that which is the principle in any genus, is the rule and measure of that genus: for instance, unity in the genus of numbers, and the first movement in the genus of movements. With regard to the speculative reason, this is first of all the definition; secondly, the proposition; thirdly, the syllogism or argument. Therefore every father of a family can make laws for his household. whether sacred doctrine is one science? Objection 1: It would seem that the soul was not produced by creation. Consequently it follows that law is something pertaining to reason. i. Wherefore promulgation is necessary for the law to obtain its force. vii, 3); hence we find in the practical reason something that holds the same position in regard to operations, as, in the speculative intellect, the proposition holds in regard to conclusions. For instance, a man and a horse differ by the difference of rational and irrational; but we cannot say that these again differ by some further difference. Therefore the soul, whereby man lives, is of the Divine substance. Reason has its power of moving from the will, as stated above (I-II:17:1): for it is due to the fact that one wills the end, that the reason issues its commands as regards things ordained to the end. Reply to Objection 1. leg. But commands are directed to certain individual goods. 4.1 Questions 66-72; 5 The Holy Eucharist. As stated above (I-II:90:1 ad 1), a law is in a person not only as in one that rules, but also by participation as in one that is ruled. For it has been proved that the rational soul cannot be produced except by creation. Secondly, as in that which is measured and ruled. Now a rule or measure is imposed by being applied to those who are to be ruled and measured by it. Reply to Objection 1: If the soul by its nature were a complete species, so that it might be created as to itself, this reason would prove that the soul was created by itself in the beginning. Edus. I answer that, As stated above (Question [90], Article [1], ad 2; Articles [3],4), a law is nothing else but a dictate of practical reason emanating from the ruler who governs a perfect community.

Objection 1: It would seem that law is not something pertaining to reason. v); therefore also the inferior are produced into existence by the higher, and souls by angels. But the sovereign of a state can make laws for the state. Just as, in external action, we may consider the work and the work done, for instance the work of building and the house built; so in the acts of reason, we may consider the act itself of reason, i.e. 90 - OF THE FIRST PRODUCTION OF MAN'S SOUL (FOUR ARTICLES), Art. Summa Theologica (originally Summa Theologiae) is the principal work of Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), an Italian friar, philosopher, and theologian and one of the central figures in medieval Christian thought.Aquinas wrote the Summa between 1265 and 1273, intending it to serve as a summation of all known theological learning for seminarians. I answer that, As stated above (Article 1), a law is imposed on others by way of a rule and measure. 90 - of the parts of penance, in general (four articles) supplement (xp): to the third part of the summa theologica supplement (xp): to the third part of the summa theologica editor's note: editor's note: qq[1 - 68] qq[1 - 68] Therefore, if the soul is created, all other forms also are created. The promulgation of law [From the Summa Theologica of Saint Thomas Aquinas as translated by the Fathers of the English Dominican Province, and from the works of Blessed John Duns Scotus as selected and arranged by Jerome of Montefortino and … Now in every genus, that which belongs to it chiefly is the principle of the others, and the others belong to that genus in subordination to that thing: thus fire, which is chief among hot things, is the cause of heat in mixed bodies, and these are said to be hot in so far as they have a share of fire. This is really an important question once we consider the tendency of the philosophical disciplines toward fragmentation. I answer that, Origen (Peri Archon i, 7,8) held that not only the soul of the first man, but also the souls of all men were created at the same time as the angels, before their bodies: because he thought that all spiritual substances, whether souls or angels, are equal in their natural condition, and differ only by merit; so that some of them---namely, the souls of men or of heavenly bodies---are united to bodies while others remain in their different orders entirely free from matter. For this reason things which differ must in some way be compound; since they differ in something, and in something resemble each other. It would seem that the reason of any man is competent to make laws. Now the first principle in practical matters, which are the object of the practical reason, is the last end: and the last end of human life is bliss or happiness, as stated above (I-II:2:7; I-II:3:1).

Animae iii, 15) mentions certain opinions which he calls "exceedingly and evidently perverse, and contrary to the Catholic Faith," among which the first is the opinion that "God made the soul not out of nothing, but from Himself.". Therefore, if we admit the opinion of Augustine about the work of the six days (Q[74], A[2]), we may say that the human soul preceded in the work of the six days by a certain generic similitude, so far as it has intellectual nature in common with the angels; but was itself created at the same time as the body. from Summa Theologiae I-II, Questions 1-5 (~1270 AD) translated by Thomas Williams (2014) Question 1. Summa Theologiae 1, q. Objection 3. It seems that there is not one ultimate end for all human beings: … 2. Home > Summa Theologiae > First Part of the Second Part. Reply to Objection 1: The term "breathe" is not to be taken in the material sense; but as regards the act of God, to breathe [spirare], is the same as to "make a spirit." Therefore it is not essential to a law that it be promulgated. For that which has in itself something material is produced from matter. But it belongs to reason to command, as stated above (I-II:17:1). The same reason holds if the soul is supposed to be composed of some spiritual matter, as some maintain; because the said matter is not in potentiality to another form, as neither is the matter of a celestial body; otherwise the soul would be corruptible. The same is to be said of all non-subsistent forms. Therefore in the beginning it was created before the body. and F. Leo Moore, O.P., S.T.L.Imprimatur. In like manner, neither is it a habit of reason: becau… Objection 2: Further, as above explained (Q[75], A[5]), the soul is a simple form. second article.
