Lesson 1
How will you define
the word volunteer? Do you do things
voluntarily?

Which task is easier to

accomplish, the task you did
voluntarily or the task you do it
full of rants?

What motives do you have

when you do good?

that is, an act in some
way under the control

identify the human act

 Internal Principles of Human Act

The internal principles of human acts

include the intellect, the will, and the sense
appetites, and the habits.
 External Principles of Human Act

Among the internal principles of

human acts, virtue is the primary
means of directing man to the
good of human happiness.
Other means by which he is ordered
to leading the good life are law and
grace, both of which may be referred
to as extrinsic principles of human
action.

 HUMAN FREEDOM
A discussion of the internal and
external principles of the human
act is logically followed by a
consideration of the human act
itself.
Prior to an analysis of the human act
into its component parts, however, it
is convenient to treat how and in
what way the human act is free.
 HUMAN FREEDOM
It is now necessary to distinguish
between a voluntary act and a
free act; for although every free
act is necessarily a voluntary act,
not every voluntary act is strictly
a free act.
A free act, most properly speaking, is
an act of choice.
