Human Nature

Human Nature by St. Thomas Aquinas is a philosophical treatise that explores the nature of humanity and its place in the world. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of human nature. The first part examines the relationship between the body and the soul, arguing that the soul is the primary source of human identity and that the body is merely a vessel for the soul. The second part discusses the nature of human knowledge and the role of reason in understanding the world. Aquinas argues that human knowledge is limited by our sensory experience, but that reason can help us to transcend these limitations and gain a deeper understanding of reality. Finally, the third part of the book explores the nature of human action and the role of morality in guiding our behavior. Aquinas argues that human beings have a natural inclination towards the good, but that this inclination can be corrupted by sin and other forms of moral weakness. Overall, Human Nature is a profound and thought-provoking work that continues to influence the fields of philosophy, theology, and ethics to this day.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Thomas Aquinas Philosophical Texts, by St. Thomas Aquinas .
