Thus the active power is 1018 1, 78 | its object as a being in act is ~to a being in potentiality; 1019 1, 78 | potentiality is to a being in act. ~Therefore there can be 1020 1, 78 | retention; by intelligence, the act of the intellect; and by 1021 1, 78 | intellect; and by will, the ~act of the will.~Aquin.: SMT 1022 1, 78 | Intelligence arises from memory, as act from habit; and in ~this 1023 1, 78 | term belong to it. For the act of the reason is, as it 1024 1, 78 | opinion" ~signifies an act of the intellect which leans 1025 1, 78 | measure" ~[mensurare] is an act of the intellect, applying 1026 1, 78 | But intelligence is an act separate from others ~attributed 1027 1, 78 | signifies the ~intellect's very act, which is to understand. 1028 1, 78 | power is from power; but ~as act is from power.

And thus 1033 1, 78 | divided against intellect as act ~against power.~Aquin.: 1034 1, 78 | intelligence as meaning that act of the ~intellect which 1035 1, 78 | intellect which transcends the act of the reason.

Wherefore from ~this explanation 1042 1, 78 | clear that conscience is an act.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[79] A[ 1043 1, 78 | conscience denominates an act. But ~since habit is a principle 1044 1, 78 | habit is a principle of act, sometimes the name conscience 1045 1, 78 | Reply OBJ 3: Although an act does not always remain in 1046 1, 79 | things, seemingly ~every act of the appetite regards 1047 1, 80 | power is taken from its act; for instance, sight from 1048 1, 80 | sensitive apprehension. ~For the act of the apprehensive power 1049 1, 80 | called a ~movement as the act of the appetite: since the 1050 1, 80 | in common with them the act of movement: for the apprehensive ~ 1051 1, 80 | rather on the part of the act, to which ~they are led 1052 1, 81 | necessity. Therefore the act of the ~will cannot be necessitated.~ 1053 1, 81 | is more noble. Now the ~act of the will, in the natural 1054 1, 81 | natural order, follows the act of the intellect. ~Therefore 1055 1, 81 | who understands; while the act ~of the will consists in 1056 1, 81 | thing potentiality precedes act, and ~imperfection precedes 1057 1, 81 | is more perfect: for thus act precedes potentiality. And ~ 1058 1, 81 | willing to ~understand, that act of the will must be preceded 1059 1, 81 | must be preceded by another act of the ~intellect, and this 1060 1, 81 | the ~intellect, and this act of the intellect by another 1061 1, 81 | the intellect by another act of the will, and ~so on 1062 1, 81 | power having a determinate act.

And some act from judgment, but not a 1071 1, 82 | case of some particular act, is ~not from a natural 1072 1, 82 | instinct, but from some act of comparison in the ~reason, 1073 1, 82 | free-will man moves himself to act. But it does not of necessity 1074 1, 82 | part, ~since it is not the act of a corporeal organ. And 1075 1, 82 | judgment denominates an act, not a ~power. Therefore 1076 1, 82 | strict sense denotes an act, in the common manner of ~ 1077 1, 82 | is the principle of the act by ~which man judges freely. 1078 1, 82 | in us the principle of an act is both power ~and habit; 1079 1, 82 | are ~well-disposed to the act of the intellect when we 1080 1, 82 | power to be named from its act.

Otherwise, if free-will 1083 1, 82 | free-will denominated an act, it ~would not always remain 1084 1, 82 | some sort of relation to an act.

But desire is an act of the ~appetitive power: 1088 1, 82 | answer that, The proper act of free-will is choice: 1089 1, 82 | choice is ~principally an act of the appetitive power. 1090 1, 82 | preceding counsel, which is an act of reason. For though the 1091 1, 82 | But choice, which is the ~act of free-will, is distinct 1092 1, 82 | free-will, is distinct from the act of willing, because "the 1093 1, 82 | of willing, because "the act ~of the will regards the 1094 1, 82 | objects and acts. For the act of ~"understanding" implies 1095 1, 82 | and will - that is, the act of willing - are ~different 1096 1, 83 | whatever appertains to the act of the ~intellect, are not 1097 1, 83 | of the intellect, whose act of understanding has a ~ 1098 1, 83 | only according as it is in act, as is shown Metaph. ix ~( 1099 1, 83 | known except through its ~act. It is therefore insufficient 1100 1, 83 | of this is, ~because the act of knowledge extends to 1101 1, 83 | from such potentiality ~to act - through the action of 1102 1, 83 | objects on his senses, to the act ~of sensation - by instruction 1103 1, 83 | instruction or discovery, to the act of understanding. ~Wherefore 1104 1, 83 | is sometimes unable to act ~according to that form 1105 1, 83 | the realization of ~its act. But this seems to be unreasonable. 1106 1, 83 | else it would not ~be in act. But when once it exists 1107 1, 83 | a way, the intellect in act is the thing understood ~ 1108 1, 83 | the thing understood ~in act. Therefore what in itself 1109 1, 83 | essence is understood in act, ~is the cause that the 1110 1, 83 | potentiality is reduced to act by ~something actual. If, 1111 1, 83 | intellect which is always in act. But this is a separate ~ 1112 1, 83 | reduced from potentiality to act ~by some being in act, that 1113 1, 83 | to act ~by some being in act, that is, by the active 1114 1, 83 | sensible soul to the sentient act, while the senses rouse ~ 1115 1, 83 | rouse ~the intellect to the act of understanding.~Aquin.: 1116 1, 83 | that to feel is not an ~act of the soul alone, but of 1117 1, 83 | compared to ~it as a being in act to a being in potentiality; 1118 1, 83 | But if the intellect is in act, it understands. ~Therefore 1119 1, 83 | no way be hindered in its act through the ~lesion of a 1120 1, 83 | corporeal organ, if for its act there were not required 1121 1, 83 | there were not required the ~act of some power that does 1122 1, 83 | acquired, there is need for the act of ~the imagination and 1123 1, 83 | other powers. For when the act of the ~imagination is hindered 1124 1, 83 | case of frenzy; or when the act of the memory is hindered, 1125 1, 83 | Further, to syllogize is an act of the intellect. But during ~ 1126 1, 84 | Therefore neither does the act of understanding take ~place 1127 1, 84 | namely, the sense, is the ~act of a corporeal organ. And 1128 1, 84 | power which is neither the act of a corporeal organ, nor 1129 1, 84 | place: for it is not the act of an ~organ; yet it is 1130 1, 84 | being," "unity," "power," "act," and the like; all these ~ 1131 1, 84 | For the ~understood in act is in the one who understands: 1132 1, 84 | since the understood in ~act is the intellect itself 1133 1, 84 | the intellect itself in act. But nothing of what is 1134 1, 84 | from which proceeds an act tending to something external 1135 1, 84 | understands both its own act of intelligence, and the ~ 1136 1, 84 | understood is the intellect in act, because the likeness of 1137 1, 84 | the form of the sense in act. Hence it does not follow 1138 1, 84 | comes first to an incomplete act, which is ~the medium between 1139 1, 84 | accomplishing the ~perfect act. The perfect act of the 1140 1, 84 | perfect act. The perfect act of the intellect is complete 1141 1, 84 | whereas the incomplete ~act is imperfect knowledge, 1142 1, 84 | known, is known partly in ~act and partly in potentiality, 1143 1, 84 | proceeds from potentiality to ~act, the same order of knowledge 1144 1, 84 | between potentiality and act.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[85] A[ 1145 1, 84 | of nature: for instance, ~act considered absolutely is 1146 1, 84 | same ~intellect being in act as regards different intelligible 1147 1, 84 | the intellect does ~not act by composition and division.~ 1148 1, 84 | passes from ~potentiality to act, it has a likeness to things 1149 1, 84 | knowledge by the ~first act of apprehension; but it 1150 1, 84 | intellect is true in its act of understanding. But ~truth, 1151 1, 84 | taken as ~determining the act of understanding as regards 1152 1, 84 | taken as determining the act of understanding on the 1153 1, 84 | the reason thereof is that act and form are received into ~ 1154 1, 86 | the intellect know its own act?~(4) How does it know the 1155 1, 86 | 4) How does it know the act of the will?~Aquin.: SMT 1156 1, 86 | of matter, not being the act of a body as stated above ( 1157 1, 86 | knowable so far as it is in act, and not, ~so far as it 1158 1, 86 | not know save what is in act: and hence it does not know 1159 1, 86 | God, the pure and perfect act, is ~simply and perfectly 1160 1, 86 | intelligible things as "act," but not as ~a "pure act," 1161 1, 86 | act," but not as ~a "pure act," nor as a "complete act," 1162 1, 86 | act," nor as a "complete act," and hence the angel's 1163 1, 86 | and hence the angel's act of ~intelligence is not 1164 1, 86 | its essence, but by its act. This happens in two ~ways: 1165 1, 86 | knowledge of the intellectual act. It is ~true, however, that 1166 1, 86 | though led thereto by its own act: ~because it is itself that 1167 1, 86 | essence of an angel is an act in the genus of ~intelligible 1168 1, 86 | passive intellect - or is the act of ~intelligible things 1169 1, 86 | intellect. For as sense in act is the sensible in act, 1170 1, 86 | in act is the sensible in act, by reason ~of the sensible 1171 1, 86 | is the form of sense in act, so likewise ~the intellect 1172 1, 86 | likewise ~the intellect in act is the object understood 1173 1, 86 | the object understood in act, by reason of the ~likeness 1174 1, 86 | form of the intellect in ~act. So the human intellect, 1175 1, 86 | between mere power and mere ~act. Now, it has been said ( 1176 1, 86 | fails in being a perfect act, it ~falls short in being 1177 1, 86 | can be known only by its ~act; thus, for example, anyone 1178 1, 86 | that he ~can produce the act proper to that habit; or 1179 1, 86 | habit by considering the act. The first kind of ~knowledge 1180 1, 86 | its presence causes the act whereby it is known. The 1181 1, 86 | resides, by the interior ~act of the heart. For no one 1182 1, 86 | intellect knows its own act?~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[87] A[ 1183 1, 86 | intellect does not know its own act. For ~what is known is the 1184 1, 86 | knowing faculty. But the act differs ~from the object. 1185 1, 86 | intellect does not know its own act.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[87] A[ 1186 1, 86 | is known is known by some act. If, then, the ~intellect 1187 1, 86 | intellect knows its own act, it knows it by some act, 1188 1, 86 | act, it knows it by some act, and again it knows ~that 1189 1, 86 | and again it knows ~that act by some other act; this 1190 1, 86 | that act by some other act; this is to proceed indefinitely, 1191 1, 86 | the same relation to its act as sense ~has to its act. 1192 1, 86 | act as sense ~has to its act. But the proper sense does 1193 1, 86 | sense does not feel its own act, for this ~belongs to the 1194 1, 86 | intellect understand its own act.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[87] A[ 1195 1, 86 | intelligible ~according as it is in act. Now the ultimate perfection 1196 1, 86 | operation: for this is not an act tending to ~something else 1197 1, 86 | agent as its perfection and act, as is said Metaph. ix, 1198 1, 86 | the intellect is its own act of ~understanding. This 1199 1, 86 | Divine, which is Its own act of ~intelligence, so that 1200 1, 86 | Essence, are one and the same act, because His ~Essence is 1201 1, 86 | because His ~Essence is His act of understanding. But there 1202 1, 86 | angelic, which is not its own act of understanding, as we 1203 1, 86 | the first object of that act is the angelic ~essence. 1204 1, 86 | distinction between the ~act whereby he understands that 1205 1, 86 | both by one and the same act; ~because to understand 1206 1, 86 | and by one and the same act is a thing, together with 1207 1, 86 | which neither is its own act of understanding, nor is 1208 1, 86 | the first object of its act of understanding, for this 1209 1, 86 | known ~secondarily is the act by which that object is 1210 1, 86 | is known; and through the act ~the intellect itself is 1211 1, 86 | perfection of which is this act of ~understanding. For this 1212 1, 86 | the true," in which the act also of understanding is ~ 1213 1, 86 | intellect can understand its own act. But not ~primarily, since 1214 1, 86 | Reply OBJ 2: The intelligent act of the human intellect is 1215 1, 86 | human intellect is not the act ~and perfection of the material 1216 1, 86 | material thing and intelligent act could be understood by one 1217 1, 86 | could be understood by one act; just ~as a thing and its 1218 1, 86 | perfection are understood by one act. Hence the act ~whereby 1219 1, 86 | understood by one act. Hence the act ~whereby the intellect understands 1220 1, 86 | stone is distinct from the act ~whereby it understands 1221 1, 86 | another, and ~therefore the act of the proper sense is perceived 1222 1, 86 | contrary, does not perform the act of understanding ~by the 1223 1, 86 | intellect understands the act of the will?~Aquin.: SMT 1224 1, 86 | does not understand the act of ~the will. For nothing 1225 1, 86 | in the intellect. But the act of the will is not in the ~ 1226 1, 86 | distinct. Therefore the ~act of the will is not known 1227 1, 86 | 1/1~OBJ 2: Further, the act is specified by the object. 1228 1, 86 | intellect. Therefore the ~act of the will is specifically 1229 1, 86 | intellect, and therefore the act of the will is not known 1230 1, 86 | above (Q[59], A[1]), the act of the will is ~nothing 1231 1, 86 | inclination, which ~is the act of the will, is in the intelligent 1232 1, 86 | subject.

Now the greatest 1324 1, 109 | Para. 1/1 - HOW ANGELS ACT ON BODIES (FOUR ARTICLES)~ 1325 1, 109 | belongs to a body not to act unless moved. Hence a corporeal 1326 1, 109 | to reduce matter to the act of ~the substantial form 1327 1, 110 | remarks that "every malicious act and ~unclean passion is 1328 1, 110 | 1~Reply OBJ 1: Those who act as God's ministers, either 1329 1, 110 | from within, since the act of the cogitative faculty 1330 1, 110 | caused by the sense ~in act." But if this motion were 1331 1, 110 | caused by the sense in act. Therefore it is contrary 1332 1, 110 | phantasy, which is the act of the imaginative faculty, 1333 1, 110 | imagination is from the sense in ~act.

But to act, which is nothing else than 1341 1, 114 | make something to be in act, is essentially proper to 1342 1, 114 | essentially proper to an act as such; ~wherefore every 1343 1, 114 | held that corporeal agents act through ~their accidental 1344 1, 114 | acts forasmuch as it is in act, on a ~body forasmuch as 1345 1, 114 | to it, on which it can act; as the spiritual nature 1346 1, 114 | which ~the other has in act.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[115] A[ 1347 1, 114 | potentiality, just as God is pure act. Now a body is composed 1348 1, 114 | composed of ~potentiality and act; and therefore it is both 1349 1, 114 | reduced from potentiality to act.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[115] A[ 1350 1, 114 | matter is ~not competent to act (A[1], ad 2,4).

And therefore it ~is necessary 1353 1, 114 | above (Q[110], A[3]), they act by virtue thereof as ~their 1354 1, 114 | directly and of themselves act on ~bodies, as stated above ( 1355 1, 114 | stated above (A[3]). They can act directly indeed on those ~ 1356 1, 114 | heavenly bodies, do ~indeed act on corporeal things by means 1357 1, 114 | heavenly bodies; but they ~act immediately on the human 1358 1, 114 | Whether heavenly bodies can act on the demons?~Aquin.: SMT 1359 1, 114 | that heavenly bodies can act on the demons. For the ~ 1360 1, 116 | him from ~potentiality to act, as the Philosopher says ( 1361 1, 116 | Q[81], A[3]), it is the act of a corporeal organ. Therefore 1362 1, 117 | for thus an agent would act to its own destruction, ~ 1363 1, 117 | matter from potentiality to act, through ~some corporeal 1364 1, 117 | as ~being more powerful, act so as to generate their 1365 1, 117 | with a medium - in the act of generation, because ~ 1366 1, 117 | the inferior bodies also act ~towards the production 1367 1, 117 | beginning, not as to the second ~act, but as to the first act, 1368 1, 117 | act, but as to the first act, as the sensitive soul is 1369 1, 117 | it already operates ~in act. This matter therefore is 1370 1, 117 | soul of the begetter is the act of the body, making use ~ 1371 1, 117 | thereof would be a being in act. For if the ~vegetative 1372 1, 118 | reduced ~from potentiality to act gradually: hence in things 1373 1, 118 | would be a small animal in act; and generation of animal 1374 2, 1 | Whether it belongs to man to act for an end?~(2) Whether 1375 2, 1 | Whether it belongs to man to act for an end?~Aquin.: SMT 1376 2, 1 | does not belong to man to act for an end. ~For a cause 1377 2, 1 | does not belong to ~man to act for an end.~Aquin.: SMT 1378 2, 1 | then does a man seem to act for an end, when he acts ~ 1379 2, 1 | for ~instance the very act of willing. Now it is impossible 1380 2, 1 | impossible for the very act ~elicited by the will to 1381 2, 1 | first visible cannot be the act of seeing, because every 1382 2, 1 | of seeing, because every act of seeing is ~directed to 1383 2, 1 | end, ~cannot be the very act of willing. Consequently 1384 2, 1 | action of man, at least the act of willing, is for ~the 1385 2, 1 | to the rational nature to act for an end?~Aquin.: SMT 1386 2, 1 | to the rational nature to act for ~an end. For man, to 1387 2, 1 | man, to whom it belongs to act for an end, never acts for 1388 2, 1 | to the rational nature to act for an end.~Aquin.: SMT 1389 2, 1 | 1/1~OBJ 2: Further, to act for an end is to order one' 1390 2, 1 | Anima iii, 9). Therefore to act for an end ~belongs to none 1391 2, 1 | itself from potentiality to act. But an agent does not move 1392 2, 1 | afterwards. Therefore a human act ~does not derive its species 1393 2, 1 | species. But one ~and the same act may happen to be ordained 1394 2, 1 | species in respect of an act and ~not in respect of potentiality; 1395 2, 1 | receives its ~species from an act; action indeed from the 1396 2, 1 | action indeed from the act which is the principle of ~ 1397 2, 1 | acting, and passion from the act which is the terminus of 1398 2, 1 | terminus: for the human act terminates at that ~which 1399 2, 1 | altogether extrinsic to the act, because it ~is related 1400 2, 1 | because it ~is related to the act as principle or terminus; 1401 2, 1 | that is essential to an act, viz. to proceed from something, 1402 2, 1 | species to the human or moral act.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[1] A[3] 1403 2, 1 | OBJ 3: One and the same act, in so far as it proceeds 1404 2, 1 | possible, however, that an act which is one ~in respect 1405 2, 1 | of the ~will: thus this act "to kill a man," which is 1406 2, 1 | a man," which is but one act in respect of ~its natural 1407 2, 1 | one way ~there will be an act of virtue, in another, an 1408 2, 1 | of virtue, in another, an act of vice. For a ~movement 1409 2, 2 | potentiality is for the sake of act as for its ~fulfilment, 1410 2, 2 | whether power, ~habit, or act.
