QUESTION 16

OF TRUTH

(In Eight Articles)

Since knowledge is of things that are true, after the consideration

of the knowledge of God, we must inquire concerning truth. About this

there are eight points of inquiry:

(1) Whether truth resides in the thing, or only in the intellect?

(2) Whether it resides only in the intellect composing and dividing?

(3) On the comparison of the true to being.

(4) On the comparison of the true to the good.

(5) Whether God is truth?

(6) Whether all things are true by one truth, or by many?

(7) On the eternity of truth.

(8) On the unchangeableness of truth.
