his intellect. Another definition of human acts is these are actions of man that resulted from his own and
personal choices.

Acts of Man- these are things that a man does involuntarily and without using his free will. Examples of
these are the functioning of a person's senses and the normal functioning of a person's body. However,
acts of man may become human acts when they are intentionally used. An example of these is using the
sense of sight because a man is looking at a woman lustfully.

How different is human acts from acts


of man?
Human acts are imputable to man so as to involve his responsibility, for the very
reason that he puts them forth deliberatively and with self-determination. They are,
moreover, not subject to physical laws which necessitate the agent, but to a law which
lays the will under obligation without interfering with his freedom of choice. Besides,
they are moral. For a moral act is one that is freely elicited with the knowledge of its
conformity with or difformity from, the law of practical reason proximately and the
law of God ultimately. But whenever an act is elicited with full deliberation, its
relationship to the law of reason is adverted to. Hence human acts are either morally
good or morally bad, and their goodness or badness is imputed to man. And as, in
consequence, they are worthy of praise or blame, so man, who elicits them, is
regarded as virtuous or wicked, innocent or guilty, deserving of reward or
punishment. Upon the freedom of the human act, therefore, rest imputability and
morality, man's moral character, his ability to pursue his ultimate end not of necessity
and compulsion, but of his own will and choice; in a word, his entire dignity and
preeminence in this visible universe. Example: Human acts- action that is guided by
reasons or actions that can be limited. example: exercise to be physically fit, etc...
Acts of man- instinctive; physiological. example: crying, falling in love, eating, etc...
