QUESTION 144

OF SHAMEFACEDNESS

(In Four Articles)

We must now consider the parts of temperance in particular: and in

the first place the integral parts, which are shamefacedness and

honesty. With regard to shamefacedness there are four points of

inquiry:

(1) Whether shamefacedness is a virtue?

(2) What is its object?

(3) Who are the cause of a man being ashamed?

(4) What kind of people are ashamed?
