[2] Although verbally this formula is only slightly different from that of the command, Do good and avoid evil, I shall try to show that the two formulae differ considerably in meaning and that they belong in different theoretical contexts. "We knew the world would not be the same. They are not derived from any statements at all. Third, there is in man an inclination to the good based on the rational aspect of his nature, which is peculiar to himself. Question: True or False According to Aquinas, the first precept of law states, "good is to be done and pursued , and evil is to be avoided," and all other precepts follow from this first precept. The other misunderstanding is common to mathematically minded rationalists, who project the timelessness and changelessness of formal system onto reality, and to empiricists, who react to rationalism without criticizing its fundamental assumptions. [58] S.T. [9] After giving this response to the issue, Aquinas answers briefly each of the three introductory arguments. The direction of practical reason presupposes possibilities on which reason can get leverage, and such possibilities arise only in reflection upon experience. This ability has its immediate basis in the multiplicity of ends among various syntheses of which man can choose, together with the ability of human reason to think in terms of end as such. [44] Indeed, in treating natural law in his commentary on the Sentences, Aquinas carefully distinguishes between actions fully prohibited because they totally obstruct the attainment of an end and actions restricted because they are obstacles to its attainment. [These pertain uniquely to the rational faculty.] 57, aa. 2)But something is called self-evident in two senses: in one way, objectively; in the other way, relative to us. The Literary Theory Handbook introduces students to the history and scope of literary theory, showing them how to perform literary analysis, and providing a greater understanding of the historical contexts for different theories.. A new edition of this highly successful text, which includes updated and refined chapters, and new sections on contemporary theories [51] Similarly he explains in another place that the power of first principles is present in practical misjudgment, yet the defect of the judgment arises not from the principles but; from the reasoning through which the judgment is formed.[52]. It is this later resolution that I am supposing here. In fact, it refers primarily to the end which is not limited to moral value. It is noteworthy that in each of the three ranks he distinguishes among an aspect of nature, the inclination based upon it, and the precepts that are in accordance with it. 5)It follows that the first principle of practical reason, is one founded on the intelligibility of goodthat is: Good is what each thing tends toward. Thus the intelligibility includes the meaning with which a word is used, but it also includes whatever increment of meaning the same word would have in the same use if what is denoted by the word were more perfectly known. Eternal law is the exemplar of divine wisdom, as directing all actions and movements of created things in their progress toward their end. [5] The single argument Aquinas offers for the opposite conclusion is based on an analogy between the precepts of natural law and the axioms of demonstrations: as there is a multiplicity of indemonstrable principles of demonstrations, so there is a multiplicity of precepts of natural law. Aquinass understanding of the first principle of practical reason avoids the dilemma of these contrary positions. But must every end involve good? Evil is not explained ultimately by opposition to law, but opposition to law by unsuitability of action to end. 94, a. Please try again. b. Desires are to be fulfilled, and pain is to be avoided. Aquinass theological approach to natural law primarily presents it as a participation in the eternal law. a. 5, for the notion of first principles as instruments which the agent intellect employs in making what follows actually intelligible. Here Aquinas indicates how the complexity of human nature gives rise to a multiplicity of inclinations, and these to a multiplicity of precepts. Hence I shall begin by emphasizing the practical character of the principle, and then I shall proceed to clarify its lack of imperative force. The precepts are many because the different inclinations objects, viewed by reason as ends for rationally guided efforts, lead to distinct norms of action. The infant learns to feel guilty when mother frowns, because he wants to please. Question 94 is divided into six articles, each of which presents a position on a single issue concerning the law of nature. Only after practical reason thinks does the object of its thought begin to be a reality. But to grant this point is not at all to identify the good in question with moral value, for this particular category of value by no means exhausts human goods. C. Pera, P. Mure, P. Garamello (Turin, 1961), 3: ch. Whatever man may achieve, his action requires at least a remote basis in the tendencies that arise from human nature. Now we must examine this response more carefully. Some interpreters mistakenly ask whether the word good in the first principle has a transcendental or an ethical sense. That law pertains to reason is a matter of definition for Aquinas; law is an, c. The translation is my own; the paragraphing is added. The principle of contradiction is likewise founded on the, Although too long a task to be undertaken here, a full comparison of Aquinass position to that of Suarez would help to clarify the present point. Thus the status Aquinas attributes to the first principle of practical reason is not without significance. If the mind is to work toward unity with what it knows by conforming the known to itself rather than by conforming itself to the known, then the mind must think the known under the intelligibility of the good, for it is only as an object of tendency and as a possible object of action that what is to be through practical reason has any reality at all. But in that case the principle that will govern the consideration will be that agents necessarily act for ends, not that good is to be done and pursued. This interpretation simply ignores the important role we have seen Aquinas assign the inclinations in the formation of natural law. He not only omits any mention of end, but he excludes experience from the formation of natural law, so that the precepts of natural law seem to be for William pure intuitions of right and wrong.[31]. The fact that the mind cannot but form the primary precept and cannot think practically except in accordance with it does not mean that the precept exercises its control covertly. But the principle of contradiction can have its liberalizing effect on thought only if we do not mistakenly identify being with a certain kind of beingthe move which would establish the first principle as a deductive premise. What is at a single moment, the rationalist thinks, is stopped in its flight, so he tries to treat every relationship of existing beings to their futures as comparisons of one state of affairs to another. Odon Lottin, O.S.B., Le droit naturel chez Saint Thomas dAquin et ses prdcesseurs (2nd ed., Bruges, 1931), 79 mentions that the issue of the second article had been posed by Albert the Great (cf. Nor is any operation of our own will presupposed by the first principles of practical reason. Of course, Aquinas holds that Gods will is prior to the natural law, since the natural law is an aspect of human existence and man is a free creation of God. cit. As Suarez sees it, the inclinations are not principles in accordance with which reason forms the principles of natural law; they are only the matter with which the natural law is concerned. Man and the State (Chicago, 1951), 8494, is the most complete expression in English of Maritains recent view. Why are the principles of practical reason called natural law? Even in theoretical knowledge, actual understanding and truth are not discovered in experience and extracted from it by a simple process of separation. See. cit. Of course, so far as grammar alone is concerned, the gerundive form can be employed to express an imperative. cit. at bk. [49] It follows that practical judgments made in evil action nevertheless fall under the scope of the first principle of the natural law, and the word good in this principle must refer somehow to deceptive and inadequate human goods as well as to adequate and genuine ones. We may say that the will naturally desires happiness, but this is simply to say that man cannot but desire the attainment of that good, whatever it may be, for which he is acting as an ultimate end. Utilitarianism is an inadequate ethical theory partly because it overly restricts natural inclination, for it assumes that mans sole determinate inclination is in regard to pleasure and pain. It is necessary for the active principle to be oriented toward that something or other, whatever it is, if it is going to be brought about. Hence the order of the precepts of the law of nature is according to the order of the natural inclinations. This is a directive for action . He considers a whole range of nonpsychic realities to be human goods. Hence first principles must be supplemented by other principles and by a sound reasoning process if correct conclusions are to be reached. But in directing its object, practical reason presides over a development, and so it must use available material. points out that Aquinas will add to the expression law of nature a further worde.g., preceptto express strict obligation. 4, ad 1. [66] Eternal law is the exemplar of divine wisdom, as directing all actions and movements of created things in their progress toward their end. at 117) even seems to concur in considering practical reason hypothetical apart from an act of will, but Bourke places the will act in God rather than in our own decision as Nielsen does. 1, c. Those who misunderstand Aquinass theory often seem to assume, as if it were obvious, that law is a transient action of an efficient cause physically moving passive objects; for Aquinas, law always belongs to reason, is never considered an efficient cause, and cannot possibly terminate in motion. A first principle of practical reason that prescribes only the basic condition necessary for human action establishes an order of such flexibility that it can include not only the goods to which man is disposed by nature but even the good to which human nature is capable of being raised only by the aid of divine grace. 91, a. In that case we simply observe that we have certain tendencies that are more or less satisfied by what we do. cit. Being is the basic intelligibility; it represents our first discovery about anything we are to knowthat it is, To say that all other principles are based on this principle does not mean that all other principles are derived from it by deduction. [27] Hence in this early work he is saying that the natural law is precisely the ends to which man is naturally inclined insofar as these ends are present in reason as principles for the rational direction of action. The practical mind also crosses the bridge of the given, but it bears gifts into the realm of being, for practical knowledge contributes that whose possibility, being opportunity, requires human action for its realization. However, he identifies happiness with the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. [26] He remarks that the habit of these ends is synderesis, which is the habit of the principles of the natural law. Mans grandeur is shown by the transcendence of this same principle; it evokes mans possibilities without restricting them, thus permitting man to determine by his own choice whether he shall live for the good itself or for some particular good. Remittances to Nicaraguans sent home last year surged 50%, a massive jump that analysts say is directly related to the thousands of Nicaraguans who emigrated to the U.S. in the past two years. The first principle of practical reason is a command: Do good and avoid evil. In the third paragraph Aquinas begins to apply the analogy between the precepts of the natural law and the first principles of demonstrations. He also claims that mans knowledge of natural law is not conceptual and rational, but instead is by inclination, connaturality, or congeniality. This early treatment of natural law is saturated with the notion of end. In sum, the mistaken interpretation of Aquinass theory of natural law supposes that the word good in the primary precept refers solely to moral good. Aquinas assumes no a priori forms of practical reason. From it flows the other more particular principles that regulate ethical justice on the rights and duties of everyone. To be definite is a condition of being anything, and this condition is fulfilled by whatever a thing happens to be. For example, both subject and predicate of the proposition, Rust is an oxide, are based on experience. Lottin notices this point. One is to suppose that it means anthropomorphism, a view at home both in the primitive mind and in idealistic metaphysics. Natural law does not direct man to his supernatural end; in fact, it is precisely because it is inadequate to do so that divine law is needed as a supplement. But reason needs starting points. This question hasn't been solved yet Ask an expert True or False 11; 1-2, q. The principle is formed because the intellect, assuming the office of active principle, accepts the requirements of that role, and demands of itself that in directing action it must really direct. The first principle of the natural law is "good is to be done and pursued, and evil avoided" (q94, a2, p. 47). From the outset, Aquinas speaks of precepts in the plural. Before the end of the very same passage Suarez reveals what he really thinks to be the foundation of the precepts of natural law. supra note 8, at 202205. Thus good does not signify an essence, much less does nonbeing, but both express intelligibilities.[15]. Laws are formed by practical reason as principles of the actions it guides just as definitions and premises are formed by theoretical reason as principles of the conclusions it reaches. Obviously no one could ask it who did not hold that natural law consists of precepts, and even those who took this position would not ask about the unity or multiplicity of precepts unless they saw some significance in responding one way or the other. 95, a. Although Bourke is right in noticing that Nielsens difficulties partly arise from his positivism, I think Bourke is mistaken in supposing that a more adequate metaphysics could bridge the gap between theory and practice. Maritain suggests that natural law does not itself fall within the category of knowledge; he tries to give it a status independent of knowledge so that it can be the object of gradual discovery. cit. at q. We do not discover the truth of the principle by analyzing the meaning of rust; rather we discover that oxide belongs to the intelligibility of rust by coming to see that this proposition is a self-evident (underivable) truth. 91, a. He points out, to begin with, that the first principle of practical reason must be based on the intelligibility of good, by analogy with the primary theoretical principle which is based on the intelligibility of being. And it is with these starting points that Aquinas is concerned at the end of the fifth paragraph. This would the case for all humans. Mardonnet-Moos, Paris, 19291947), bk. We may say that the will naturally desires happiness, but this is simply to say that man cannot but desire the attainment of that good, whatever it may be, for which he is acting as an ultimate end. But the practical mind is unlike the theoretical mind in this way, that the intelligibility and truth of practical knowledge do not attain a dimension of reality already lying beyond the data of experience ready to be grasped through them. This principle, as Aquinas states it, is: Good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided. [32] Moreover, Aquinas expressly identifies the principles of practical reason with the ends of the virtues preexisting in reason. J. Migne, Paris, 18441865), vol. Practical reason, therefore, presupposes good. Maritain points out that Aquinas uses the word quasi in referring to the prescriptive conclusions derived from common practical principles. The mistaken interpretation suggests that natural law is a set of imperatives whose form leaves no room to discriminate among degrees of force to be attached to various precepts. Precisely because the first principle does not specify the direction of human action, it is not a premise in practical reasoning; other principles are required to determine direction. However, to deny the one status is not to suppose the other, for premises and a priori forms do not exhaust the modes of principles of rational knowledge. For that which primarily falls within ones grasp is being, and the understanding of being is included in absolutely everything that anyone grasps. Therefore, Aquinas believes we need to perfect our reason by the virtues, especially prudence, to discover precepts of the natural law that are more proximate to the choices that one has to make on a day-to-day basis. This orientation means that at the very beginning an action must have definite direction and that it must imply a definite limit. He points out, to begin with, that the first principle of practical reason must be based on the intelligibility of good, by analogy with the primary theoretical principle which is based on the intelligibility of being. [79] S.T. But these references should not be given too much weight, since they refer to the article previously cited in which the distinction is made explicitly. When they enter society they surrender only such rights as are necessary for their security and for the common good. And, in fact, tendency toward is more basic than action on account of, for every active principle tends toward what its action will bring about, but not every tending ability goes into action on account of the object of its tendency. 91, a. Any other precept will add to this first one; other precepts determine precisely what die direction is and what the starting point must be if that direction is to be followed out. Practical reason is the mind working as a principle of action, not simply as a recipient of objective reality. After observing these two respects in which the mistaken interpretation unduly restricts the scope of the first principle of practical reason, we may note also that this principle as Aquinas understands it is not merely a principle of imperative judgments. Moreover, it is no solution to argue that one can derive the ought of moral judgment from the is of ethical evaluation: This act is virtuous; therefore, it ought to be done. Not even Hume could object to such a deduction. Aquinass solution to the question is that there are many precepts of the natural law, but that this multitude is not a disorganized aggregation but an orderly whole. 1-2, q. The First Principle of Practical Reason: A Commentary on the Summa Theologiae, 1-2, Question 94, Article 2. Natural Law Forum 10, no. The good which is the end is the principle of moral value, and at least in some respects this principle transcends its consequence, just as being in a certain respect is a principle (of beings) that transcends even the most fundamental category of beings. 3, c. Quasi need not carry the connotation of, which it has in our usage; it is appropriate in the theory of natural law where a vocabulary primarily developed for the discussion of theoretical knowledge is being adapted to the knowledge of practical reason.) Knowledge is a unity between man knowing and what he knows. If the first principle of practical reason restricted human good to the goods proportionate to nature, then a supernatural end for human action would be excluded. The point of saying that good is to be pursued is not that good is the sort of thing that has or is this peculiar property, obligatorinessa subtle mistake with which G. E. Moore launched contemporary Anglo-American ethical theory. Good is not merely a generic expression for whatever anyone may happen to want,[50] for if this were the case there would not be a single first principle but as many first principles as there are basic commitments, and each first principle would provide the major premise for a different system of rules. From the outset, Aquinas speaks of precepts in the plural. There his formulation of the principle is specifically moralistic: The upright is to be done and the wrong avoided. "Good is to be done and evil is to be avoided" is the first principle of practical reason, i.e., a principle applicable to every human being regardless of his "religion." These remarks may have misleading connotations for us, for we have been conditioned by several centuries of philosophy in which analytic truths (truths of reason) are opposed to synthetic truths (truths of fact). The Influence of the Scottish Enlightenment. Obligation is a strictly derivative concept, with its origin in ends and the requirements set by ends. The intelligibility of good is: what each thing tends toward. cit. "Ethics can be defined as a complete and coherent system of convictions, values and ideas that provides a grid within which some sort of actions can be classified as evil, and so to be avoided, while other sort of actions can be classified as good, and so to be tolerated or even pursued" These inclinations are part of ourselves, and so their objects are human goods. Instead of undertaking a general review of Aquinass entire natural law theory, I shall focus on the first principle of practical reason, which also is the first precept of natural law. On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows, In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame, The good deeds a man has done before defend him.". Aquinass understanding of the first principle of practical reason avoids the dilemma of these contrary positions. Aquinas on Content of Natural Law ST I-II, Q.94, A.2 Only secondarily does he consider it a moral principle applicable to human good and free action. Although Suarez mentions the inclinations, he does so while referring to Aquinas. 6)Because good has the intelligibility of end, and evil has the intelligibility of contrary to end, it follows that reason naturally grasps as goodsin consequence, as things-to-be-pursued by work, and their opposites as evils and thing-to-be-avoidedall the objects of mans natural inclinations. By their motion and rest, moved objects participate in the perfection of agents, but a caused order participates in the exemplar of its perfection by form and the consequences of formconsequences such as inclination, reason, and the precepts of practical reason. We can be taught the joys of geometry, but that would be impossible if we did riot have natural curiosity that makes us appreciate the point of asking a question and getting an answer. The first principle of practical reason directs toward ends which make human action possible; by virtue of the first principle are formed precepts that represent every aspect of human nature. cit. [57] The object of the practical intellect is not merely the actions men perform, but the good which can be directed to realization, precisely insofar as that is a mode of truth. Is the condition of having everything in its proper place in one's character and conduct, including personally possessing all the three other classic virtues in proper measure.
