501 1, 117 | that reduce the matter from potentiality to act, through ~some corporeal 502 1, 117 | of which one would be in potentiality to another. This ~has been 503 1, 118 | should be reduced ~from potentiality to act gradually: hence 504 1, 118 | Now that which is in potentiality to the whole, is that which 505 1, 118 | and inasmuch as it is in potentiality to the substance.~Aquin.: 506 2, 1 | nothing reduces ~itself from potentiality to act. But an agent does 507 2, 1 | act and ~not in respect of potentiality; wherefore things composed 508 2, 2 | as ~something existing in potentiality: for it becomes knowing 509 2, 2 | potentially ~virtuous. Now since potentiality is for the sake of act as 510 2, 2 | that which in itself is in potentiality cannot be the last ~end. 511 2, 3 | as it is ~actual; since potentiality without act is imperfect. 512 2, 3 | according as it is reduced from potentiality to act. But the ~human intellect 513 2, 5 | Further, that which is such in potentiality, can be reduced to ~act, 514 2, 9 | something in so far as it ~is in potentiality to several things; for that 515 2, 9 | things; for that which is in potentiality ~needs to be reduced to 516 2, 9 | the soul is seen to be in potentiality to different ~things in 517 2, 9 | whereas what is moved, is in potentiality; ~since "movement is the 518 2, 9 | act of that which is in potentiality, as such" ~[*Aristotle, 519 2, 9 | Now the same is not in potentiality and in ~act, in respect 520 2, 9 | principle, reduces itself from ~potentiality to act, as to its knowledge 521 2, 9 | neither is it in act and in potentiality in ~respect of the same. 522 2, 9 | it ~reduces itself from potentiality to act, in respect of the 523 2, 9 | another ~time an agent in potentiality, needs to be moved by a 524 2, 9 | primary matter, which is potentiality to all forms, be ~created 525 2, 10 | actually, but sometimes only in potentiality: because form is act, ~whereas 526 2, 10 | act, ~whereas matter is potentiality. Now movement is "the act 527 2, 10 | act of that which is ~in potentiality" (Aristotle, Phys. iii, 528 2, 10 | will (which is reduced from potentiality to act, ~when it wills something), 529 2, 18 | act, but according as its ~potentiality is void of act; whereas 530 2, 18 | whereas in so far as its potentiality is ~perfected by act, it 531 2, 18 | absolute, but affecting some ~potentiality. For an action is said to 532 2, 22 | in anything that is in ~potentiality. Now, though the soul is 533 2, 22 | yet it has something of potentiality, in respect of which it 534 2, 22 | thing according as it is in potentiality. ~Wherefore in those things 535 2, 22 | God, there is but little potentiality and passion: while in other ~ 536 2, 23 | arises from diversity in the potentiality of matter, while ~diversity 537 2, 27 | or again, according ~as potentiality bears a resemblance to its 538 2, 27 | contained, ~in a manner, in the potentiality itself.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[ 539 2, 27 | because whatever is in potentiality, as such, has ~the desire 540 2, 27 | likeness to what he ~loves, as potentiality bears a likeness to its 541 2, 27 | to the same likeness of potentiality to its act, ~the illiberal 542 2, 31 | of something existing in ~potentiality, as such": this movement 543 2, 49 | its being in a state of potentiality; and thus we have the ~second 544 2, 49 | with which the material potentiality [potentia materiae] is ~ 545 2, 49 | in accordance with the ~potentiality of the subject is determined 546 2, 49 | is ~still in a state of potentiality, but otherwise than before 547 2, 49 | however, in a state of ~potentiality in respect to operation. 548 2, 49 | should be related to it as potentiality is to act. Whence, if there 549 2, 49 | nature is not composed of potentiality and act, and whose ~substance 550 2, 49 | that which is in a state of potentiality ~in regard to something 551 2, 49 | something be in a state of potentiality ~in regard to something 552 2, 49 | matter is not in a state of ~potentiality to another form, as we said 553 2, 49 | body is not in a ~state of potentiality to more than one fixed movement.~ 554 2, 49 | things to which it is in potentiality, several things should occur, ~ 555 2, 49 | either as to place, or ~as to potentiality, or as to species," as we 556 2, 50 | subject which is in a state of potentiality either to ~form or to operation. 557 2, 50 | when the subject is in ~potentiality to many things that a habitual 558 2, 50 | act takes precedence of ~potentiality. For act is naturally prior 559 2, 50 | act is naturally prior to potentiality, though ~potentiality is 560 2, 50 | to potentiality, though ~potentiality is prior in order of generation 561 2, 50 | of form and matter, has potentiality and ~act at the same time. 562 2, 50 | Therefore habit, which has potentiality at the same time as act, 563 2, 50 | and ~even then it is in potentiality in a sense; but not in the 564 2, 50 | subject of ~habit, which is in potentiality to many: and this belongs, 565 2, 50 | Para. 1/1~Reply OBJ 2: As potentiality to sensible being belongs 566 2, 50 | to corporeal ~matter, so potentiality to intellectual being belongs 567 2, 50 | it is midway between pure potentiality and perfect act.~Aquin.: 568 2, 50 | that which is somehow in ~potentiality.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[50] A[ 569 2, 50 | 4]) that only a being in potentiality is ~the subject of habit. 570 2, 50 | that there is no material ~potentiality in them, and on that account, 571 2, 50 | though there is no material potentiality ~in angels, there is still 572 2, 50 | angels, there is still some potentiality in them (for to be pure 573 2, 50 | alone), therefore, as far as potentiality is found to be ~in them, 574 2, 50 | in them. But because the potentiality ~of matter and the potentiality 575 2, 50 | potentiality ~of matter and the potentiality of intellectual substance 576 2, 50 | intellectual order, is in potentiality as regards all intelligible ~ 577 2, 50 | intellect is not as a pure potentiality in the order of ~intelligible 578 2, 50 | with an admixture of some potentiality: and ~the higher it is, 579 2, 50 | the higher it is, the less potentiality it has. And therefore, as 580 2, 50 | A[1], so far as it is in potentiality, so far is it in ~need of 581 2, 50 | habits, being ~as it were in potentiality in regard to that Pure Act. 582 2, 52 | which is not white, is in potentiality to be ~white: so that which 583 2, 52 | which is less white, is in potentiality to be more white. ~But that 584 2, 52 | hot or white, is not in potentiality ~to those forms, since it 585 2, 52 | actually: but it is in ~potentiality to a perfect mode of participation; 586 2, 53 | fact that the ~subject's potentiality is indeterminate, through 587 2, 54 | dispositions of ~a thing that is in potentiality to something, either to 588 2, 55 | potentia' is rendered 'potentiality' in the first ~case, and ' 589 2, 65 | possesses these in proximate potentiality. Because when, ~by practice, 590 2, 67 | yet, even then, it is in ~potentiality to consider it actually." 591 2, 67 | act of that ~which is in potentiality as such" (Phys. iii): so 592 2, 67 | so that as soon as this ~potentiality is brought into act, the 593 2, 23 | consistent ~to be sometimes in potentiality and sometimes in act: so 594 2, 23 | does not entirely fill the ~potentiality of matter: this is evident 595 2, 23 | way, that it retains the potentiality to another form, as though ~ 596 2, 23 | another form, as though ~its potentiality were not completely satisfied 597 2, 23 | which entirely fills the potentiality of its ~matter, so that 598 2, 23 | latter does not retain the potentiality to another ~form, is in 599 2, 23 | because it entirely fills the potentiality of the rational mind, ~since 600 2, 23 | wayfarer does not ~so fill the potentiality of its subject, because 601 2, 31 | in act, and somewhat in potentiality with regard ~to another. 602 2, 161 | likeness actually but only in potentiality. Thirdly, as to ~the power 603 2, 165 | intellect being reduced from potentiality to ~act, and this is done 604 3, 2 | the two as from act and potentiality or from matter and form. 605 3, 6 | matter in ~itself is in potentiality to the species. And hence 606 3, 8 | act, ~but as they are in potentiality. Nevertheless, some are 607 3, 8 | Nevertheless, some are in potentiality ~who will never be reduced 608 3, 8 | united to Him merely in potentiality, which is not yet ~reduced 609 3, 8 | who are united to Him in potentiality, ~which will never be reduced 610 3, 8 | as being no longer in ~potentiality to be united to Christ.~ 611 3, 8 | Church potentially. And this potentiality is rooted in ~two things - 612 3, 9 | considered in itself, is in potentiality ~to knowing intelligible 613 3, 9 | iii, 18. ~Now what is in potentiality is imperfect unless reduced 614 3, 9 | answer that, What is in potentiality is reduced to act by what 615 3, 9 | itself be hot. Now man is in ~potentiality to the knowledge of the 616 3, 9 | as corporeal matter is in potentiality to sensible ~forms, so the 617 3, 9 | possible intellect is in potentiality to intelligible ~forms. 618 3, 9 | imperfect. Now everything ~in potentiality is imperfect unless it be 619 3, 9 | intellect of man is in potentiality to all intelligible things. 620 3, 9 | possible intellect is in ~potentiality; even as in the beginning 621 3, 10 | to such things as are in potentiality, and never have been nor 622 3, 10 | whatever is a being in potentiality. And because, as is said 623 3, 10 | act, and not as it is in ~potentiality, knowledge primarily and 624 3, 10 | secondarily regards being in potentiality, which is not knowable of ~ 625 3, 10 | in any creature in ~whose potentiality infinite things exist, and 626 3, 10 | But the infinite in potentiality which is in creatures can 627 3, 10 | are infinite things in the potentiality of the creature, and yet ~ 628 3, 10 | power of God than in the potentiality of the ~creature. So, too, 629 3, 11 | does ~not seem to be in potentiality to all things simply, but 630 3, 12 | which "all things are in potentiality," so the active intellect 631 3, 12 | intellect is in any way in potentiality, so by acquired knowledge ~ 632 3, 12 | intelligible species are only in potentiality. Now Christ ~received empiric 633 3, 21 | implies the passing from potentiality to act, ~inasmuch as it 634 3, 53 | some respect, that ~is, in potentiality. Thus it is evident that 635 3, 57 | there, nor ~is there any potentiality susceptive of a body, but 636 3, 57 | susceptive of a body, but the potentiality of ~reaching thither lies 637 3, 75 | no ~longer, except in the potentiality of matter; e.g. when air 638 3, 75 | air remains only in the potentiality of ~matter; and in like 639 3, 75 | form remains only in the potentiality of matter. But ~here the 640 3, 75 | from being previously in potentiality is now in act. ~because 641 3, 75 | of a thing existing ~in potentiality." But no subject can be 642 3, 75 | body which has life ~in potentiality". But it cannot be said 643 3, 75 | indeed it is evident ~that potentiality to the opposite follows 644 3, 75 | whiteness, in which there is potentiality to blackness, is the whole ~ 645 3, 75 | As was observed above, potentiality belongs to the subject, ~ 646 3, 75 | come about by the passive potentiality of the creature, but solely 647 Suppl, 34| given a certain spiritual potentiality ~to receive, and consequently 648 Suppl, 34| consequently a somewhat passive potentiality. But power ~properly denotes 649 Suppl, 34| properly denotes active potentiality, together with some kind 650 Suppl, 72| bodies are ~somewhat in potentiality, whereas, existing by themselves, 651 Suppl, 72| the lower bodies to be in potentiality to the form of ~heaven, 652 Suppl, 72| is the natural passive potentiality which always has an active 653 Suppl, 72| even granted a passive ~potentiality on the part of the body, 654 Suppl, 79| Further, whatever is in potentiality to have the form of another ~ 655 Suppl, 79| of ~the saints will be in potentiality to the form of another thing 656 Suppl, 79| form, does not ~lose its potentiality to another form. But the 657 Suppl, 79| Therefore they will be in potentiality to another form, and ~thus 658 Suppl, 79| sense there will be no ~potentiality to passion in the bodies 659 Suppl, 79| 2 Para. 1/1~Reply OBJ 2: Potentiality is twofold, tied and free: 660 Suppl, 79| active but also of passive potentiality. For the form ties ~the 661 Suppl, 79| For the form ties ~the potentiality of matter, by determining 662 Suppl, 79| retain substantially the same potentiality ~as they have now to another 663 Suppl, 79| to another form; yet that potentiality will remain tied ~by the 664 Suppl, 81| is in ~one place it is in potentiality with regard to another place, 665 Suppl, 88| even as in an ~obediential potentiality [*Cf.
