Hi, I don’t know if you’re still active on this channel, but for me, several of your videos are not available anymore, it also says so in the playlists, did you delete them? I’m really curious and hope you will upload them again, if it even is something on your side and not an issue on mine. I really appreciate your lectures!
These are excellent lectures! I'm so glad I found them. I do have one question. At 30:02 you said, "the will cannot cause the body to do anything directly." Is there a way to align this with ST I Q82 a4: "Secondly, a thing is said to move as an agent, as what alters moves what is altered, and what impels moves what is impelled. In this way the will moves the intellect and all the powers of the soul" and "Therefore the will as agent moves all the powers of the soul to their respective acts, except the natural powers of the vegetative part, which are not subject to our will." Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback! The quotations you give do not describe the will moving the body , only it moving the body. So, there is no contradiction between them and Aquinas's claim that it does not move the body directly, but by way of the sense appetites and imagination.
@@ElliotPolskyPhilosophy. Thank you for this thoughtful reply. Are you aware of any resources that walk through real-world examples of how all the powers of the soul interact and interface? This information is sprinkled about, but I have yet to see a clear and concise run through of "Johnny and the piece of pizza" with a walk through of what exactly each power of the soul is doing in a given activity (i.e., how the intellect and will interfaces with the external senses, internal senses, sensitive appetite and locomotive powers). Please let me know if you are aware of any relevant publications. Thanks!
Thank You very much....
