Question 22 — Of the Subject of the Soul’s Passions

We must now consider the passions of the soul: first, in general; second, in particular. Taking them in general, there are four things to be considered: (1) Their subject; (2) The difference between them; (3) Their mutual relationship; (4) Their malice and goodness.

Under the first head there are three points of inquiry:

(1) Whether there is any passion in the soul?

• (2) Whether passion is in the appetitive rather than in the apprehensive part?
• (3) Whether passion is in the sensitive appetite rather than in the intellectual appetite, which is called the will?
