Question 15 — Of Consent

We must now consider consent; concerning which there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether consent is an act of the appetitive or of the apprehensive power?

• (2) Whether it is to be found in irrational animals?
• (3) Whether it is directed to the end or to the means?
• (4) Whether consent to an act belongs to the higher part of the soul only?
