Abstract

Points are rational, or instructions to be rational thinking is the passion of Thomas Aquinas the most essential features. Thomas Aquinas the human ability to recognize the ability to work closely with the desire to combine the future, there is no knowledge that there is no desire. The will of rational desire, passion is emotional desire. Passionate man and animals have in common, but the passion is not the same as non-rational animal passion, animal passion of the activity from necessity, rather than from free choice, but in person it裡, in obedience to management of the range, have some free minutes of passion, the passion of activities the autonomy of human behavior are, in this sense, Thomas Aquinas explicitly moral passion positioned out of the main ethics. Thomas Aquinas passion thought, quite creative part, through the rational and the passion between associated the psychological structure of the study, made ​​in the brain department there is a build up in the other sense of the performance capabilities based on the special features, this is the "special rational. " Management of an important special feature is the liaison with the general management of the individual feel like, this associates to return to feeling like a rational, will feel like upgrading Zhiyi knowledge level. And feel like the passion in the form of objects, define the form of an object of passion, passion is also divided so rational. As a result, rational according to the brightness and perfect passion, rational for the passion of domination by special treatment of "internal dialogue" to complete, while the passion and rational to maintain tension but also inherently have to obey management of natural tendencies. Participating in the reason, or rationalized passion, is the most essential character of Thomas's passion theory. Thomas merged human being's cognitive power with appetitive power. He pointed out that there would be no appetite without cognition. The will is the intellective appetite, or, in Aristotle's word, the intellective appetite or appetitive intellect. The passion is the sensitive appetite, and is owned by human and animals mutually. Thomas asserted that human's passion is distinct from animal 'passion for that the non-rational animals' passive activities inevitably came from their nature other than free select. But in man, in so far as it participates in the reason, Aquinas recognized passion has a certain share of liberty, and passion's activities are voluntary acts of human beings. Furthermore, he pointed out that human's passion has become a rational capability due to the participation in the reason. In such a sense, the passion can be the subject of human virtue. The most creative part in Thomas's passion theory is his "particular reason". Through analyzing the correlation of psychological structure between reason and passion, Thomas put forward that there exists a specific function which set up on the basis of other sense capability in human's middle brain. He called it particular reason, An important function of particular reason is to connect the universal reason with singular phantasm , which brings intellect turn to the phantasm, and upgrades it to the layer of consciousness. Moreover, phantasm is the formal object of passion. The differentiae of formal objects define distinct kinds of potencies, so the passion has also participated in the reason. The result is that, the intellect illuminates and perfects passion. The guiding and moving of reason on passion is finished through particular reason's internal dialogue, where the passion keeps the tensity with reason and has also a nature internal incline of obedience to reason
