But when not only the means, ~but also the way of using 541 2, 14 | also the way of using the means, is fixed, then there is 542 2, 14 | light of a principle, so the means are considered in the light 543 2, 14 | to be ~inquired into by means of counsel.~Aquin.: SMT 544 2, 15 | THE WILL IN REGARD TO THE MEANS (FOUR ~ARTICLES) ~We must 545 2, 15 | directed to the end or to the means?~(4) Whether consent to 546 2, 15 | directed to the end or to the means?~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[15] A[ 547 2, 15 | end that we consent to the means.

Now the appetite tends 554 2, 15 | hand, the desire of the means presupposes the decision 555 2, 15 | counsel is ~only about the means, consent, properly speaking, 556 2, 15 | of nothing else but ~the means.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[15] A[ 557 2, 15 | so do we consent to the means on ~account of the end, 558 2, 15 | by aid of counsel several means have been found conducive 559 2, 16 | THE WILL IN REGARD TO THE MEANS (FOUR ARTICLES)~We must 560 2, 16 | Whether it regards the means only, or the end also?~( 561 2, 16 | Reply OBJ 2: Animals by means of their members do something 562 2, 16 | regarded in ~the light of means to an end; and consequently 563 2, 16 | use always regards the ~means. For this reason things 564 2, 16 | use of the end. But the means ~are applied to the will' 565 2, 16 | not only in being used as means, but ~as ordained to something 566 2, 16 | only the end, but also the means.

Now in regard to the means, the rectitude of ~the reason 576 2, 19 | the will, as regards the means, depends on the ~intention 577 2, 19 | alone. But as regards the ~means, the object of the will 578 2, 21 | since to praise or to blame ~means nothing else than to impute 579 2, 22 | appetite is not exercised by means of a corporeal organ. It 580 2, 26 | men have ~held that love means something more Godlike than 581 2, 27 | iniquity," inasmuch as, by means of iniquity, some good is 582 2, 27 | faculty: so that "good" ~means that which simply pleases 583 2, 28 | within a whole, except by means of ~a division of the whole. 584 2, 28 | that, To suffer ecstasy means to be placed outside oneself. ~ 585 2, 28 | endeavors, to the ~best of his means, to repel whatever is contrary 586 2, 29 | more strongly than to the ~means. Now turning away from evil 587 2, 29 | from evil is directed as a means to the gaining ~of good. 588 2, 30 | hand, ~concupiscence of the means is not infinite, because 589 2, 30 | the concupiscence of ~the means is in suitable proportion 590 2, 32 | the ~suitable good is by means of an operation.

Therefore the 612 2, 50 | needs to be inclined, by means of a habit, to some fixed 613 2, 50 | God, and therefore not by means of habits. And this seems 614 2, 50 | of habitual perfection by means of intelligible species 615 2, 51 | when a man is healed by means of ~medicine, health is 616 2, 51 | those who are healed by means of art.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[ 617 2, 52 | not increased except by means of some agent. ~But every 618 2, 54 | earth to be round by one means, ~the astronomer by another: 619 2, 54 | the latter proves this by means of ~mathematics, e.g. by 620 2, 54 | the former proves it by means of physics, e.g. by the 621 2, 54 | And consequently various means ~are as so many active principles, 622 2, 55 | determinate to acts ~by means of habits, as is clear from 623 2, 56 | inheres to substance by means of another, as color to 624 2, 56 | as color to the body by means ~of the surface; so that 625 2, 57 | intellect, not at once, but by means of the reason's inquiry, 626 2, 57 | perfects ~the latter act by means of a subordinate virtue, 627 2, 58 | meaning. ~For sometimes it means custom, in which sense we 628 2, 58 | be saved." Sometimes it means a natural or quasi-natural 629 2, 58 | reason be well disposed by means of a habit of intellectual 630 2, 58 | appetite be well disposed by means of a habit of moral virtue. 631 2, 58 | 1/1~OBJ 2: Further, by means of intellectual virtue man 632 2, 58 | rectifies the choice of fitting means ~towards the due end.
