D. Difference
1. Because difference is really universal in nature, it exists
in particulars.
2. Because there is a difference in concordance without any
contrariety at all, difference has greater magnitude than contrariety.
3. Major difference can give rise to greater concordance than
minor difference can.
4. In the sensitive power, difference and species are so closely
related that they both at once differentiate and specify it.
5. Since God can be understood and loved, the difference between
intellect and will is greater than any difference between one sense and
another.
6. Difference is a power that the elements use to produce
their likenesses.
7. The intellect cannot differ from the senses without some
likenesses and unlikenesses.
8. Since the soul specifies its subject more than the body
does, there is greater difference in the soul than in the body.
9. The rational animal is a great mirror where the great difference
between spirit and body appears.
10. Intellect is always different from will (and conversely) in
understanding and willing because their essences are different.
11. There is more difference between understanding and willing
if they differentiate what is understood and willed than if they do not.
12. Without the difference between intellect and will, no
human life can exist. |
