QUESTION 27

OF THE CAUSE OF LOVE

(In Four Articles)

We must now consider the cause of love: and under this head there are

four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether good is the only cause of love?

(2) Whether knowledge is a cause of love?

(3) Whether likeness is a cause of love?

(4) Whether any other passion of the soul is a cause of love?
