Because I want to inflict my pain upon others, a quote from the Saint-Philosopher himself:
"Consequently, just as on the part of the speculative reason, by a natural participation of divine wisdom, there is in us the knowledge of certain common principles, but not a proper knowledge of each single truth, such as that contained in the divine wisdom, so, too, on the part of the practical reason, man has a natural participation of the eternal law, according to certain common principles, but not as regards the particular determinations of individual cases, which are, however, contained in the eternal law. Hence the need for human reason to proceed futher to sanction them by law.(Q.91, a.3, Reply Obj. 1)
And yes, except for the "Hence...by law," that is all one sentence. I think Mr. Aquinas needs to learn what a period is, and how to use one. *snerk*
In other news, I am less than four hours away from getting Neverwhere*. Honestly, people, you shouldn't have let me on eBay. It's as bad as horse racing. I'll get addicted. *grin*
*Philip, this is the one I'm inflicting on you when you get home. Be afraid. :D
