Summa Theologica - 07 Pars Prima Secundae, Treatise on the Passions

by Saint Thomas Aquinas

This section of Aquinas' *Summa Theologica* delves into the complex realm of human passions, exploring their nature, origins, and impact on moral life. Aquinas distinguishes between concupiscible passions, which are driven by desires for good or evil, and irascible passions, which arise from obstacles to our desires. He analyzes various passions, including love, hate, joy, sadness, hope, despair, fear, anger, and courage, examining their moral implications and how they can be regulated by reason and virtue.
