QUESTION 15

OF CONSENT, WHICH IS AN ACT OF THE WILL IN REGARD TO THE MEANS

(In Four Articles)

We must now consider consent; concerning which there are four points

of inquiry:

(1) Whether consent is an act of the appetitive or of the apprehensive

power?

(2) Whether it is to be found in irrational animals?

(3) Whether it is directed to the end or to the means?

(4) Whether consent to an act belongs to the higher part of the soul

only?
