QUESTION 81

OF THE POWER OF SENSUALITY

(In Three Articles)

Next we have to consider the power of sensuality, concerning which

there are three points of inquiry:

(1) Whether sensuality is only an appetitive power?

(2) Whether it is divided into irascible and concupiscible as distinct

powers?

(3) Whether the irascible and concupiscible powers obey reason?
