To sum up, the stages of human action are as follows: 1. simple volition (5:10) 2. intention (5:46) 3. deliberation and consent (6:33) 4. decision - act of the reason (7:02) 5. election - act of the will (7:09) 6. command - performed by the reason (7:20) 7. use - execution of the will (7:26) 8. fruition (8:01) Thank you for the video.
That's right. To fill it out yet further, simple volition is preceded by an a) apprehension of the end and intention is preceded by a b) judgment of attainability. Deliberation and consent are the intellectual and volitional components respectively of that stage. Finally, fruition has both intellectual and volitional components, sometimes called active and passive fruition.

This is a subject I think about a great deal. I have a degenerative illness which makes life very difficult at times, but with the Lord as my goal, I find that I am at peace most of the time, and a joy which does not require riches, lots of friends, parties, constant activity, sexual activity, etc. My life is improving even as my health fails.
Our hearts are restless until it rest unto Thee my Lord and my God! After a long sojourn in different places and all the different types of pleasure the known earth during that time can offer to seek the ultimate truth of what happiness this life can offer! K
Thank you, Father ! I chose to watch the TI discourses frequently, and judge there's been no mistake ! I send something every so often, but you are invaluable !
choosing my way to true happiness is a great definition of true freedom. Good explanation of interplay of intellect and will in our acts as free agents we must know Truth and go toward it
I think and believe evangelization is highly effective thru social media. This channel is a prime example. Please continue preaching and educating because I'm listening. 😊🙏
Thank you for concisely explaining the Steps of Human Action by St. Thomas Aquinas! Prior to watching, I had a great trouble digesting this topic because our learning module horribly translated and explained this topic in our native language. I even had a hard time researching this topic on the internet. After watching and reading the comments, everything became clear :)

@@clavdiolizarraga1075 sure! Juan de Marianna is considered one of the best. Juan de Lugo was perhaps the first to combine scarcity and utility in a single theory of value. Martín de Azpilcueta Navarrus was the first economic thinker to state clearly and unequivocally that government price-fixing is a mistake. Luis de Molina is another. Fransisco de Vitoria was the founder of the school of Salamanca but his specialty was more in law. Overall though Jesus Huerta de Soto has an excellent lecture on youtube that he gave to some Spanish priests going more in depth on the achievements of the Spanish scholastics.

Yes, it does. Although Mises was the first to formulate the Human Action Model in today's Austrian terminology, he actually inherited the concepts in a much more verbose form from Carl Menger, who is generally considered the founder of Austrian Economics. Carl Menger, as well as many other influential social science thinkers of the day, studied under an anthropology professor named Franz Brentano, who is most famous for introducing Scholastic philosophy (of which Thomism had been the core for several centuries), to German speaking academia, which had largely abandoned Scholasticism after the Protestant Reformation.

Well, now we know that Thomas is basically wrong. All human being's thinking is trapped in a neural network not of their own design. The Brain is God's Design, just like the bee's and bird's brains are also running on God's Design. So human's thinking is trapped in this neural network. Even if we design an AI Machine to think up new ideas for us, that AI design came out of human brains neural networks. So it's finite 'freedom', finite 'liberty' - confined to the design of the homo sapien neural network.
If dogs and other animals deliberate and make free judgments that can go against their instincts, then they need to be held accountable for their actions--judged and punished for misbehavior (e.g. the dog kills the neighbor's beloved cat).
@@lewis72 That's why we have courts and due process for dogs and cats to properly ascertain their moral culpability. And this is why we arrest lions when they viciously tear apart baby antelopes.

Amazing. Thanks.
You're welcome!
This is incredibly simple and easy to understand.
This was really good. Wow.
Fr. James is superb!
Very simple from St Thomas Aquainas to seek Happiness in Life; We should have Compassion in our hearts and Contentment in our mind!
SIMPLY EXCELLENT!
Cheers, thanks for watching! May the Lord bless you!
Brilliant!!!
profound and perfect for a student. Thanks padres!
Love this!
Cheers!

this is basically proto praxeology right here, truly impressive economic insights for middle age thought
You can trace it back to St. Agostinho, confessions
Well the foundations of Austrian economics were made by Thomists in Spain during the renaissance

Freedom goes with it Responsibility without it its license! Without regard to principles! K
Does this have anything to do with Mises vision of Human Action?
I had the same thought. The type of reasoning seems very similar. A praxeological path to happiness perhaps.
Yes, it does. Although Mises was the first to formulate the Human Action Model in today's Austrian terminology, he actually inherited the concepts in a much more verbose form from Carl Menger, who is generally considered the founder of Austrian Economics.

1:14
"The animals do not deliberate about what to do or how to do it."
- Where's the proof for this assertion ?
Dogs appear to have some limited use of reason. More research is shedding light on this.
If dogs and other animals deliberate and make free judgments that can go against their instincts, then they need to be held accountable for their actions--judged and punished for misbehavior (e.g. the dog kills the neighbor's beloved cat).
