< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4   A5   A6   A7   A8   A9   A10  

We must now consider the goodness of the interior act of the will; under which head there are ten points of inquiry:

A1 Whether the goodness of the will depends on the subject?

A2 Whether it depends on the object alone?

A3 Whether it depends on reason?

A4 Whether it depends on the eternal law?

A5 Whether erring reason binds?

A6 Whether the will is evil if it follows the erring reason against the law of God?

A7 Whether the goodness of the will in regard to the means, depends on the intention of the end?

A8 Whether the degree of goodness or malice in the will depends on the degree of good or evil in the intention?

A9 Whether the goodness of the will depends on its conformity to the Divine Will?

A10 Whether it is necessary for the human will, in order to be good, to be conformed to the Divine Will, as regards the thing willed?
