Question 76 — The Union of Body and Soul

We now consider the union of the soul with the body; and concerning this there are eight points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the intellectual principle is united to the body as its form?

  • (2) Whether the intellectual principle is multiplied numerically according to the number of bodies; or is there one intelligence for all men?
  • (3) Whether in the body the form of which is an intellectual principle, there is some other soul?
  • (4) Whether in the body there is any other substantial form?
  • (5) Of the qualities required in the body of which the intellectual principle is the form;
  • (6) Whether it be united to such a body by means of another body?
  • (7) Whether by means of an accident?
  • (8) Whether the soul is wholly in each part of the body?
