Question 115 — The Action of the Corporeal Creature

We have now to consider the action of the corporeal creature; and fate, which is ascribed to certain bodies. Concerning corporeal actions there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether a body can be active?

• (2) Whether there exist in bodies certain seminal virtues?
• (3) Whether the heavenly bodies are the causes of what is done here by the inferior bodies?
• (4) Whether they are the cause of human acts?
• (5) Whether demons are subject to their influence?
• (6) Whether the heavenly bodies impose necessity on those things which are subject to their influence?
