Objection 3. But what is not in a place, is not moved of itself locally, but only according to the motion of the subject in which it is. It seems that Christ is not entire under every part of the species of bread and wine. Asked by Bijoy J #1210109. Westmonasterii.APPROBATIO ORDINISNihil Obstat.

Therefore if there were not in man some other substantial form besides the rational soul, and if this were to inhere immediately to primary matter; it would follow that it ranks among the most imperfect forms which inhere to matter immediately. Summary of question number right from the first part of the second part. But the species of anything is derived from its form. For this reason we observe that there is a greater variety of parts in perfect than in imperfect animals; and in these a greater variety than in plants. animal. Nor does it matter, as to this particular point, whether there be one intellect or many; because, even if there were but one, it would necessarily be an individual intellect, and the species whereby it understands, an individual species. And therefore it is not necessary for Christ to be in this sacrament as in a place. The opinion of Plato might be maintained if, as he held, the soul was supposed to be united to the body, not as its form, but as its motor. Now everything that moves itself is divided into two parts, of which one moves, and the other is moved, as the Philosopher proves (Phys. The Second Part deals with man in greater depth, and the Third Part discusses Jesus Christ, who serves as mediator between God and man in Christian thought. Therefore the forms of the elements must remain in a mixed body; and these are substantial forms. i). Therefore, the glorified eye can see Christ's body as it is in this sacrament. Nevertheless the breath is a means of moving, as the first instrument of motion. I answer that, The eye is of two kinds, namely, the bodily eye properly so-called, and the intellectual eye, so-called by similitude. 1-119) Question 1. For this reason, against those who hold that there are several souls in the body, he asks (De Anima i, 5), "what contains them? Therefore there is nothing to prevent some power thereof not being the act of the body, although the soul is essentially the form of the body. But it is not the same with any other glorified eye, because Christ's eye is under this sacrament, in which no other glorified eye is conformed to it. Objection 2. He intended it to be the sum of all known learning as explained according to the philosophy of Aristotle (384-322 bce) and his Arabian commentators (which was being introduced to western European thought at . SUMMA THEOLOGICA. The sensitive soul is incorruptible, not by reason of its being sensitive, but by reason of its being intellectual. Questions 75-89 of the First Part (Prima pars) of St. Thomas's great Summa theologiae constitute what has been traditionally called "The Treatise on Man," or, as Pasnau prefers, "The Treatise on Human Nature." Pasnau discusses these fifteen questions in the twelve chapters, plus Introduction and Epilogue, that make up his book. Whence it follows that elements in the mixed body would be distinct as to situation. Animal. Is it united to such a body by means of another body? Objection 2. x). The determinate distance of parts in an organic body is based upon its dimensive quantity; but the nature of substance precedes even dimensive quantity. Because those species can be divided infinitely. The Commentator held that this union is through the intelligible species, as having a double subject, in the possible intellect, and in the phantasms which are in the corporeal organs. Therefore the intellectual principle is not united to the body as its form. 1 - The Nature and Extent of Sacred Doctrine (Ten Articles) Treatise on The One God (QQ [2-26]) Treatise on The One God (QQ [2-26]) Question. It would seem that the intellectual principle is not multiplied according to the number of bodies, but that there is one intellect in all men. And among men, those who have the best sense of touch have the best intelligence. Therefore it is not movably in this sacrament. Now all the other senses are based on the sense of touch. Further, whatever receptive power is an act of a body, receives a form materially and individually; for what is received must be received according to the condition of the receiver. Therefore it is not united to the body as its form. Therefore, it is impossible for matter to be apprehended as hot, or as having quantity, before it is actual. It was this argument which seems to have convinced those who held that Christ's body does not remain under this sacrament if it be reserved until the morrow. And so the difference of corruptible and incorruptible which is on the part of the forms does not involve a generic difference between man and the other animals. . 77: The Powers of the Soul in General: Q. Reply to Objection 2. For the body of Christ is indeed present under the species of bread by the power of the sacrament, while the blood is there from real concomitance, as stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 1) in regard to the soul and Godhead of Christ; and under the species of wine the blood is present by the power of the sacrament, and His body by real concomitance, as is also His soul and Godhead: because now Christ's blood is not separated from His body, as it was at the time of His Passion and death. Therefore it is impossible that one individual intellectual soul should belong to several individuals. Reply to Objection 1. But with regard to the intellectual part, he seems to leave it in doubt whether it be "only logically" distinct from the other parts of the soul, "or also locally.". And as a light body remains light, when removed from its proper place, retaining meanwhile an aptitude and an inclination for its proper place; so the human soul retains its proper existence when separated from the body, having an aptitude and a natural inclination to be united to the body. And therefore those accidents of Christ's body which are intrinsic to it are in this sacrament. In the same way several intellects understand one object understood. Reply to Objection 1. For it is not in each part of the body, with regard to each of its powers; but with regard to sight, it is in the eye; and with regard to hearing, it is in the ear; and so forth. But the phantasm itself is not a form of the possible intellect; it is the intelligible species abstracted from the phantasm that is a form. Answers: 1. In the body, the form of which is an intellectual principle, is there some other soul? It seems that Christ's body is not truly there when flesh or a child appears miraculously in this sacrament. For it is manifest that, supposing there is one principal agent, and two instruments, we can say that there is one agent absolutely, but several actions; as when one man touches several things with his two hands, there will be one who touches, but two contacts. But whatever fills a place is there locally. Accordingly, when our Lord said (John 6:56): "My flesh is meat indeed," there the word flesh is put for the entire body, because according to human custom it seems to be more adapted for eating, as men commonly are fed on the flesh of animals, but not on the bones or the like. But Christ's body as it is in this sacrament cannot be seen by any bodily eye. Therefore there is one intellect of all men. Objection 5. But fire and air are bodies. Reply to Objection 3. Therefore it is impossible for the entire dimensive quantity of Christ's body to be there. "that is, what makes them one? viii (Did. Objection 4. Summa theologiae 1a 75-76 (tr. Therefore the whole Christ is not contained under each species. Q. Aa Aa. Therefore if the intellect were united to the body as its form, since every body has a determinate nature, it would follow that the intellect has a determinate nature; and thus, it would not be capable of knowing all things, as is clear from what has been said (I:75:2; which is contrary to the nature of the intellect. Reply to Objection 1. But the difference which constitutes man is "rational," which is applied to man on account of his intellectual principle. On the contrary, it is impossible for the same thing to be in motion and at rest, else contradictories would be verified of the same subject. A spiritual substance which is united to a body as its motor only, is united thereto by power or virtue. But the flesh and blood which appear by miracle are not consecrated, nor are they converted into Christ's true body and blood. And this indeed is seen to happen when it is beheld by everyone under such an appearance, and it remains so not for an hour, but for a considerable time; and, in this case some think that it is the proper species of Christ's body. But from natural concomitance there is also in this sacrament that which is really united with that thing wherein the aforesaid conversion is terminated. Whereas the act of intellect remains in the agent, and does not pass into something else, as does the action of heating. Reply to Objection 3. Therefore, from the fact that species of the phantasms exist in But Christ's body seems to be definitively in this sacrament, because it is so present where the species of the bread and wine are, that it is nowhere else upon the altar: likewise it seems to be there circumscriptively, because it is so contained under the species of the consecrated host, that it neither exceeds it nor is exceeded by it. Aristotle does not say that the soul is the act of a body only, but "the act of a physical organic body which has life potentially"; and that this potentiality "does not reject the soul." "The human mind may perceive truth only through thinking, as is clear from Augustine." - Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica Summa Theologica is an extensive five-volume masterpiece about the. If, therefore, the whole soul be in each part of the body, it follows that all the powers of the soul are in each part of the body; thus the sight will be in the ear, and hearing in the eye, and this is absurd. Objection 3. If nothing, then, be contained under one species, but what is contained under the other, and if the whole Christ be contained under both, it seems that one of them is superfluous in this sacrament. Therefore in man the essence of the intellectual soul, the sensitive soul, and the nutritive soul, cannot be the same. Canonicus Surmont, Vicarius Generalis. Mai 2 in groer Auswahl Vergleichen Angebote und Preise Online kaufen bei eBay Kostenlose Lieferung fr viele Artikel! But one cannot sense without a body: therefore the body must be some part of man. This can easily be explained, if we consider the differences of species and forms. Although the intellectual soul, like an angel, has no matter from which it is produced, yet it is the form of a certain matter; in which it is unlike an angel. I answer that, If the soul were united to the body, merely as a motor, there would be nothing to prevent the existence of certain dispositions mediating between the soul and the body; on the contrary, they would be necessary, for on the part of the soul would be required the power to move the body; and on the part of the body, a certain aptitude to be moved by the soul. As it is in this sacrament, can Christ's body be seen by the eye? But the intellectual principle, since it is incorruptible, as was shown above (I:75:6), remains separate from the body, after the dissolution of the body. Objection 2. Now an action may be attributed to anyone in three ways, as is clear from the Philosopher (Phys.
