summa theologica question 76

Further, Augustine (De Quant. Further, the Philosopher says (De Gener. Further, as stated above (Article 4), the body of Christ is in this sacrament with its dimensive quantity, and with all its accidents. For it is impossible for many distinct individuals to have one form, as it is impossible for them to have one existence, for the form is the principle of existence. Therefore we answer otherwise by observing that in matter two conditions are to be found; one which is chosen in order that the matter be suitable to the form; the other which follows by force of the first disposition. Objection 5. I answer that, If we suppose that the intellectual soul is not united to the body as its form, but only as its motor, as the Platonists maintain, it would necessarily follow that in man there is another substantial form, by which the body is established in its being as movable by the soul. Therefore in man the essence of the intellectual soul, the sensitive soul, and the nutritive soul, cannot be the same. But primary matter cannot be moved (Phys. xxvi): "We are made partakers of the body and blood of Christ, not as taking common flesh, nor as of a holy man united to the Word in dignity, but the truly life-giving flesh of the Word Himself.". and F. Leo Moore, O.P., S.T.L.Imprimatur. 76 - OF THE UNION OF BODY AND SOUL (EIGHT ARTICLES) New English Translation of St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae (Summa Theologica) by Alfred J. Freddoso University of Notre Dame Prima Pars (Part 1) Table of contents: Part 1: . If, however, the soul is united to the body as its form, as we have said (Article 1), it is impossible for it to be united by means of another body. This is not the case with other non-subsistent forms. Further, power and action have the same subject; for the same subject is what can, and does, act. In the body is there any other substantial form? Objection 2. Now it is the nature of a body for it to be "quantity having position" (Predic. Reply to Objection 2. Summa theologiae 1a 75-76 (tr. 76. Hence we read in the profession of faith at Ephesus (P. I., chap. Avicenna held that the substantial forms of the elements remain entire in the mixed body; and that the mixture is made by the contrary qualities of the elements being reduced to an average. Hence since it is seen in its proper species, and is adored in heaven, it is not seen under its proper species in this sacrament. But in this sacrament the dimensive quantity of the bread is there after its proper manner, that is, according to commensuration: not so the dimensive quantity of Christ's body, for that is there after the manner of substance, as stated above (Reply to Objection 1). After the consecration, is the body of Christ moved when the host or chalice is moved? A spiritual substance which is united to a body as its motor only, is united thereto by power or virtue. ii, 1) that the relation of a part of the soul to a part of the body, such as the sight to the pupil of the eye, is the same as the relation of the soul to the whole body of an animal. Theol.Imprimatur. But the second kind of totality, which depends on logical and essential perfection, properly and essentially belongs to forms: and likewise the virtual totality, because a form is the principle of operation. The same is to be said of the sensitive soul in brute animals, and of the nutritive soul in plants, and universally of all more perfect forms with regard to the imperfect. It discusses topics central to Christian morality, ethics, law, and the life of Christ, providing philosophical and theological solutions to common arguments and questions surrounding the Christian faith. Objection 2. But the materiality of the knower, and of the species whereby it knows, impedes the knowledge of the universal. For every form exists in its proper disposed matter. But if it is a form by virtue of some part of itself, then that part which is the form we call the soul, and that of which it is the form we call the "primary animate," as was said above (I:75:5). It would seem that the intellectual soul is improperly united to such a body. Reply to Objection 2. But every body occupying a place is in the place according to the manner of dimensive quantity, namely, inasmuch as it is commensurate with the place according to its dimensive quantity. Reply to Objection 1. Individuality of the intelligent being, or of the species whereby it understands, does not exclude the understanding of universals; otherwise, since separate intellects are subsistent substances, and consequently individual, they could not understand universals. Therefore it is not united to the body as its form. 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. Objection 1. If, however, the intellectual soul is united to the body as the substantial form, as we have already said above (Article 1), it is impossible for any accidental disposition to come between the body and the soul, or between any substantial form whatever and its matter. Reply to Objection 1. It follows therefore that the intellectual principle is the proper form of man. Instead of all these, man has by nature his reason and his hands, which are "the organs of organs" (De Anima iii), since by their means man can make for himself instruments of an infinite variety, and for any number of purposes. On the contrary, Augustine says in a sermon (Gregory, Sacramentarium): "Each receives Christ the Lord, Who is entire under every morsel, nor is He less in each portion, but bestows Himself entire under each.". . Therefore there is but one intellect in all men. Hence it remains that Christ's body is not in this sacrament as in a place, but after the manner of substance, that is to say, in that way in which substance is contained by dimensions; because the substance of Christ's body succeeds the substance of bread in this sacrament: hence as the substance of bread was not locally under its dimensions, but after the manner of substance, so neither is the substance of Christ's body. Further, when the disciple receives knowledge from the master, it cannot be said that the master's knowledge begets knowledge in the disciple, because then also knowledge would be an active form, such as heat is, which is clearly false. Hence if this sacrament had been celebrated then, the body of Christ would have been under the species of the bread, but without the blood; and, under the species of the wine, the blood would have been present without the body, as it was then, in fact. By the power of the sacrament there is contained under it, as to the species of the bread, not only the flesh, but the entire body of Christ, that is, the bones the nerves, and the like. Some, however, tried to maintain that the intellect is united to the body as its motor; and hence that the intellect and body form one thing so that the act of the intellect could be attributed to the whole. Objection 1. A proof of which is, that on the withdrawal of the soul, no part of the body retains its proper action; although that which retains its species, retains the action of the species. Objection 3. I answer that, As stated above (Article 1), any part of Christ is in this sacrament in two ways: in one way, by the power of the sacrament; in another, from real concomitance. ii, 2), the ultimate natural form to which the consideration of the natural philosopher is directed is indeed separate; yet it exists in matter. For it involves nothing unreasonable that the same movable thing be moved by several motors; and still less if it be moved according to its various parts. For the same essential form makes man an actual being, a body, a living being, an animal, and a man. Reply to Objection 1. Therefore the soul should be united to a most subtle body, to fire, for instance, and not to a mixed body, still less to a terrestrial body. The union of soul and body ceases at the cessation of breath, not because this is the means of union, but because of the removal of that disposition by which the body is disposed for such a union. First of all, because Christ's body under its proper species can be seen only in one place, wherein it is definitively contained. The Summa Theologica (or the Summa Theologiae or simply the Summa, written 1265-1274) is the most famous work of Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225-1274) although it was never finished. Reply to Objection 2. The soul is indeed very distant from the body, if we consider the condition of each separately: so that if each had a separate existence, many means of connection would have to intervene. Averroes maintained that the forms of elements, by reason of their imperfection, are a medium between accidental and substantial forms, and so can be "more" or "less"; and therefore in the mixture they are modified and reduced to an average, so that one form emerges from them. Secondly, this is proved to be impossible by the manner in which one thing is predicated of another. Objection 2. Further, if it be said that the sensitive soul in man is incorruptible; on the contrary, "corruptible and incorruptible differ generically," says the Philosopher, Metaph. Is the entire Christ under each species of the sacrament? Now the substantial form gives being simply; therefore by its coming a thing is said to be generated simply; and by its removal to be corrupted simply. But the place, where this sacrament is, is much less than the body of Christ. It seems that Christ's body is in this sacrament as in a place. Therefore we must presuppose accidents to be in matter before the substantial form; and therefore before the soul, since the soul is a substantial form. But this is contrary to the nature of the intellect; for then the intellect would seem not to be distinct from the imagination. There is a whole which is divided into parts of quantity, as a whole line, or a whole body. Man must therefore derive his species from that which is the principle of this operation. Therefore it behooved the intellectual soul to be united to a body fitted to be a convenient organ of sense. vii, 6). Objection 3. vii, 2), that the genus is taken from the matter, and difference from the form. The second part addresses ethics, habits, law, faith, wisdom, self-control, morality, prophecy, miracles, and the contemplative life. Further, a link between two things seems to be that thing the removal of which involves the cessation of their union. But our Lord said (John 6:56): "My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." Is the intellectual principle multiplied numerically according to the number of bodies or is there one intelligence for all men? But the intellectual action is not the action of a body, as appears from above (I:75:2). But substance, as such, is not visible to the bodily eye, nor does it come under any one of the senses, nor under the imagination, but solely under the intellect, whose object is "what a thing is" (De Anima iii). But the part which moves is the soul. Number follows division, and therefore so long as quantity remains actually undivided, neither is the substance of any thing several times under its proper dimensions, nor is Christ's body several times under the dimensions of the bread; and consequently not an infinite number of times, but just as many times as it is divided into parts. The determinate distance of parts in an organic body is based upon its dimensive quantity; but the nature of substance precedes even dimensive quantity. Objection 3. Reply to Objection 1. Objection 2. Reply to Objection 1. Therefore it seems to be united to the body by means of an incorruptible body, and such would be some heavenly light, which would harmonize the elements, and unite them together. Therefore it is impossible that the entire Christ be contained under this sacrament. Reply to Objection 2. 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.". 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. And therefore those accidents of Christ's body which are intrinsic to it are in this sacrament. Our bodily eye, on account of the sacramental species, is hindered from beholding the body of Christ underlying them, not merely as by way of veil (just as we are hindered from seeing what is covered with any corporeal veil), but also because Christ's body bears a relation to the medium surrounding this sacrament, not through its own accidents, but through the sacramental species. Therefore the body of Christ is in this sacrament locally. 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. 1 Prologue. 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 . Objection 3. Therefore it is impossible for the entire dimensive quantity of Christ's body to be there. It seems, therefore, that the same individual knowledge which is in the master is communicated to the disciple; which cannot be, unless there is one intellect in both. Objection 3. But the more subtle is the body, the less has it of matter. Further, the Philosopher says, Metaph. Now an animal is so called from its having a sensitive soul; and, therefore, "animal" will not be one genus common to man and other animals, which is absurd. Objection 1. Therefore, if the dimensive quantity of Christ's body be in this sacrament together with the dimensive quantity of the host, the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is extended beyond the quantity of the host, which nevertheless is not without the substance of Christ's body. Therefore it seems that the soul is united to the body by means of a power, which is an accident. The spiritual soul of a human being is the substantial form of the living man. But the intellectual soul is incorruptible. Therefore this principle by which we primarily understand, whether it be called the intellect or the intellectual soul, is the form of the body. viii (Did. The place in which Christ's body is, is not empty; nor yet is it properly filled with the substance of Christ's body, which is not there locally, as stated above; but it is filled with the sacramental species, which have to fill the place either because of the nature of dimensions, or at least miraculously, as they also subsist miraculously after the fashion of substance. Question 76 - OF THE UNION OF BODY AND SOUL (In . Reply to Objection 2. Now mingling does not result from matter alone; for then we should have mere corruption. Now this would not be the case if the various principles of the soul's operations were essentially different, and distributed in the various parts of the body. For since the Godhead never set aside the assumed body, wherever the body of Christ is, there, of necessity, must the Godhead be; and therefore it is necessary for the Godhead to be in this sacrament concomitantly with His body. Reply to Objection 5. But it is the act of an organic body. 4 - THE PERFECTION OF GOD (THREE ARTICLES) 77: Fraud in Buying and Selling: Q. Objection 1. [a] Objection 1: It seems that the intellectual principle is not united to the body as its form. In like manner, the soul is said to be the "act of a body," etc., because by the soul it is a body, and is organic, and has life potentially. Yet Christ does not remain in this sacrament for all coming time. But the conversion which takes place in this sacrament is terminated directly at the substance of Christ's body, and not at its dimensions; which is evident from the fact that the dimensive quantity of the bread remains after the consecration, while only the substance of the bread passes away. So therefore quantitative totality cannot be attributed to the soul, either essentially or accidentally. Reply to Objection 3. 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. 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. As it is in this sacrament, can Christ's body be seen by the eye? 78: The Specific Powers of the Soul: As stated above (Article 4), the accidents of Christ's body are in this sacrament by real concomitance. Secondly, because since Socrates is an individual in a nature of one essence composed of matter and form, if the intellect be not the form, it follows that it must be outside the essence, and then the intellect is the whole Socrates as a motor to the thing moved. Objection 1. 2 - The Existence of God (Three Articles) Question. It seems, then, that straightway on the morrow, or after a short time, He ceases to be under this sacrament. For instance, St. Aquinas talks about motion, causation, perfection, and global harmony as some of the vital proves that there is God. It seems that Christ's body is movably in this sacrament, because the Philosopher says (Topic. For since a whole consists of parts, a form of the whole which does not give existence to each of the parts of the body, is a form consisting in composition and order, such as the form of a house; and such a form is accidental. It seems that the intellectual principle is not united to the body as its form. Therefore Christ's body is not in this sacrament as in a place. On the other hand, His soul was truly separated from His body, as stated above (III:50:5). It seems, then, that it does not see Christ, as He is under the species of this sacrament. 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. Further, the human body is a mixed body. vi, 6), that "in each body the whole soul is in the whole body, and in each part is entire.". The First Part addresses God, gradually working its way through God's creation and the angels to man. However, it would be possible to distinguish my intellectual action form yours by the distinction of the phantasmsthat is to say, were there one phantasm of a stone in me, and another in youif the phantasm itself, as it is one thing in me and another in you, were a form of the possible intellect; since the same agent according to divers forms produces divers actions; as, according to divers forms of things with regard to the same eye, there are divers visions. Acknowledgement: This digital file was produced through the kindness of Sandra K. Perry, Perrysburg, Ohio. Therefore the soul is to the body as a form of matter. In the first place, an animal would not be absolutely one, in which there were several souls. Further, the soul is in the body of which it is the act. Canonicus Surmont, Vicarius Generalis. The dimensive quantity of Christ's body is in this sacrament not by way of commensuration, which is proper to quantity, and to which it belongs for the greater to be extended beyond the lesser; but in the way mentioned above (ad 1,2). viii (Did. Reply to Objection 3. And so the Philosopher says (De Anima iii) that the intellect is separate, because it is not the faculty of a corporeal organ. But it exists in matter so far as the soul itself, to which this power belongs, is the form of the body, and the term of human generation. Yet it is the stone which is understood, not the likeness of the stone; except by a reflection of the intellect on itself: otherwise, the objects of sciences would not be things, but only intelligible species. But the intellectual soul is one form. It seems that the whole Christ is not contained under both species of this sacrament. Objection 2. Translated by. Thus the intellectual soul contains virtually whatever belongs to the sensitive soul of brute animals, and to the nutritive souls of plants. This is contrary to the teaching of the Philosopher, who holds that understanding is not possible through a corporeal instrument (De Anima iii, 4). Uber Sittliches Handeln Summa Theologica I Ii Q 1 Thank you very much for downloading Uber Sittliches Handeln Summa Theologica I Ii Q 1 .Maybe you have knowledge that, people have look numerous time for their favorite books when this Uber Sittliches Handeln Summa Theologica I Ii Q 1 , but stop up in harmful downloads. iii). In the same way several intellects understand one object understood. Does the true body of Christ remain in this sacrament when He is seen under the appearance of a child or of flesh. Reply to Objection 2. Edus. But whatever fills a place is there locally. Animal. If, however, Socrates be a whole composed of a union of the intellect with whatever else belongs to Socrates, and still the intellect be united to those other things only as a motor, it follows that Socrates is not one absolutely, and consequently neither a being absolutely, for a thing is a being according as it is one. For corruptible and incorruptible are not of the same substance. Therefore it is not properly united to a corruptible body. Christ's body is not in this sacrament definitively, because then it would be only on the particular altar where this sacrament is performed: whereas it is in heaven under its own species, and on many other altars under the sacramental species. Asked by Bijoy J #1210109. Now the human soul is the highest and noblest of forms. On the contrary, The Philosopher says (De Anima ii, 1): "We need not ask if the soul and body are one, as neither do we ask if wax and its shape are one." When, therefore, a soul is sensitive only, it is corruptible; but when with sensibility it has also intellectuality, it is incorruptible. Further, the glorified bodies of the saints will be "made like to the body" of Christ's "glory," according to Philippians 3:21. 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. First of all, because a body which is visible brings about an alteration in the medium, through its accidents. Therefore, it should not be united to a body which is composed of parts belonging to various species. Objection 4. Answers: 1. Fathers of the English Dominican Province. Now an action may be attributed to anyone in three ways, as is clear from the Philosopher (Phys. Therefore in man the intellectual soul is not essentially the same as the sensitive soul, but presupposes it as a material subject. As has been already stated (III:75:5, after the consecration of the bread into the body of Christ, or of the wine into His blood, the accidents of both remain. Therefore, apparently it is impossible for the entire Christ to be under every part of the species. The embryo has first of all a soul which is merely sensitive, and when this is removed, it is supplanted by a more perfect soul, which is both sensitive and intellectual: as will be shown further on (I:118:2 ad 2). 76: Malediction: Q. Wherefore matter, once understood as corporeal and measurable, can be understood as distinct in its various parts, and as receptive of different forms according to the further degrees of perfection. Reply to Objection 3. Reply to Objection 4. Now the accidents of Christ's body are in this sacrament by means of the substance; so that the accidents of Christ's body have no immediate relationship either to this sacrament or to adjacent bodies; consequently they do not act on the medium so as to be seen by any corporeal eye. Objection 2. On the contrary, The Philosopher says (De Anima ii, 1), that "the soul is the act of a physical organic body having life potentially.". Therefore since, as we have said, the intellectual soul contains virtually what belongs to the sensitive soul, and something more, reason can consider separately what belongs to the power of the sensitive soul, as something imperfect and material. In the Summa Theologiae, St. Thomas Aquinas says that "angels do not assume bodies from the earth or water, or they could not suddenly disappear." Source: Ia Q. The first kind of totality does not apply to forms, except perhaps accidentally; and then only to those forms, which have an indifferent relationship to a quantitative whole and its parts; as whiteness, as far as its essence is concerned, is equally disposed to be in the whole surface and in each part of the surface; and, therefore, the surface being divided, the whiteness is accidentally divided. This is, however, absurd for many reasons. 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. Nom. Wherefore, after the consecration, the whole substance of Christ's body and blood is contained in this sacrament, just as the whole substance of the bread and wine was contained there before the consecration. Hence in no way is Christ's body locally in this sacrament. There is, further, a third kind of whole which is potential, divided into virtual parts. Reply to Objection 1. Further, wherever Christ's body is, it is there either under its own species, or under those of the sacrament. For although sensibility does not give incorruptibility, yet it cannot deprive intellectuality of its incorruptibility. Further, Christ's body begins to be in this sacrament by consecration and conversion, as was said above (III:75:2-4). Therefore, for like reason, the glorified eye can see Christ as He is in this sacrament. v, 1); for a thing is said to move or act, either by virtue of its whole self, for instance, as a physician heals; or by virtue of a part, as a man sees by his eye; or through an accidental quality, as when we say that something that is white builds, because it is accidental to the builder to be white. Everything has unity in the same way that it has being; consequently we must judge of the multiplicity of a thing as we judge of its being. The distinction between Socrates and Plato would be no other than that of one man with a tunic and another with a cloak; which is quite absurd. Reply to Objection 1. Objection 1. Therefore, if we have one form by which a thing is an animal, and another form by which it is a man, it follows either that one of these two things could not be predicated of the other, except accidentally, supposing these two forms not to be ordered to one anotheror that one would be predicated of the other according to the second manner of essential predication, if one soul be presupposed to the other. Question 76. A sign of which is that we observe "those who are refined in body are well endowed in mind," as stated in De Anima ii, 9. Objection 3. Secondly, it is in keeping with the use of this sacrament, that Christ's body be shown apart to the faithful as food, and the blood as drink. But, according to the opinion of Plato, the thing understood exists outside the soul in the same condition as those under which it is understood; for he supposed that the natures of things exist separate from matter. Objection 1. Therefore we must suppose dimensions in matter before the substantial forms, which are many belonging to one species. I answer that, It is absolutely necessary to confess according to Catholic faith that the entire Christ is in this sacrament. For we do not say that the wall sees; rather, we say that the wall is seen. 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. Reply to Objection 4. Whereas the act of intellect remains in the agent, and does not pass into something else, as does the action of heating. Objection 1. Reply to Objection 5. For the substantial being of each thing consists in something indivisible, and every addition and subtraction varies the species, as in numbers, as stated in Metaph. Now it is clear that no matter how the intellect is united or coupled to this or that man, the intellect has the precedence of all the other things which appertain to man; for the sensitive powers obey the intellect, and are at its service. Now all this is fictious and ridiculous: for light is not a body; and the fifth essence does not enter materially into the composition of a mixed body (since it is unchangeable), but only virtually: and lastly, because the soul is immediately united to the body as the form to matter. The divine beatitude (26) THE BLESSED TRINITY ORIGIN: The question of origin or procession (27). Therefore, as a surface which is of a pentagonal shape, is not tetragonal by one shape, and pentagonal by anothersince a tetragonal shape would be superfluous as contained in the pentagonalso neither is Socrates a man by one soul, and animal by another; but by one and the same soul he is both animal and man. For this reason, against those who hold that there are several souls in the body, he asks (De Anima i, 5), "what contains them?
