Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologiae - Mutual Indwelling As An Effect Of Love - Sadler's Lectures

from Sadler's Lectures · host Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

This lecture discusses key ideas from the medieval Christian philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae, 1st part of the 2nd part, question 28 "The Effects Of Love", and examines his discussions in article 2, which centers on the question whether mutual indwelling (mutua inhaesio) is an effect of love. Thomas considers several arguments that seem to rule against this being the case, then distinguishes between how it can be understood with respect to the apprehensive and appetitive powers, and how the latter works with love of concupiscence and love of friendship.
