| Summary: | Knowledge and love, as well as intellect and will, while remaining distinct, must be understood in man as being intrinsically related on account of his being ordained to a single ultimate end. This responds to the substantial inclination that every human being has for synthesis, for intimate unity. One of the clearest examples of this spirit of synthesis can be recognized in the teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas; for example, in his attitude of assimilation of the doctrines of many authors, mainly Aristotle and Saint Augustine. We will try to show how, in the thought of Aquinas, faithful to his Augustinian heritage, will and intellect find their rootedness in the memory of oneself, based on the doctrine of the created good according to mode, species, and order. In this the mind is the image of God, to which man is ordered by knowledge and love. Therefore, we can conclude that the memory of oneself is memory of God. We will follow the teachings of the main representatives of the Thomistic School of Barcelona. |
