1: Bodily pleasure implies indeed repose of the appetitein the object of pleasure; which repose is sometimes contrary toreason; but on the part of the body it always implies alteration. And in respect of both points, it hinders the use of reason. Reply Obj. 2: The powers of the appetite and of apprehension areindeed distinct parts, but belonging to the one soul. Consequentlywhen the soul is very intent on the action of one part, it ishindered from attending to a contrary act of the other part. ...Reply Obj. 3: The use of reason requires the due use of theimagination and of the other sensitive powers, which are exercisedthrough a bodily organ. Consequently alteration in the body hindersthe use of reason, because it hinders the act of the imaginationand of the other sensitive powers. ________________________ FOURTH ARTICLE [I-II, Q. 33, Art. 4] Whether Pleasure Perfects Operation?
