II. Three constituents of the human acts? Human acts and acts of man?
Human acts are those acts which proceed from man as a rational
being. They are the very means man possesses an order to arrive at his
moral perfection. Man is man by his intellect and by his rational will.
These two faculties distinguish man from the rest of the animals and make
him the most perfect being of this visible creation, for only man
intellective, moral, and religious. Only man is responsible for his actions,
he alone is aware of what he is doing and is free to act or not to act. When
he does not know what he is doing or when he is no longer free to act, the
responsibility is no longer attributed to him.
Actions committed by unconscious and insane persons, by infants,
or by those who are physically forced to do something, are not considered
human acts but acts of man. Only acts performed with knowledge and
freedom are properly human and consequently moral, for only then are
they either good or evil.
Actions which merely happen in the body or through the body
without the awareness of the mind or the control of the will are not human
acts but merely act of man. To see, to hear, to touch, to scratch oneself,
when these acts are done without deliberation, are called Acts of Man. The
nutritive processes of the body, circulation, respiration, growth, and the
chemical reactions which constantly take place in our organism and upon
which the will has no direct control are also acts of man.
1. Elicited and commanded acts Elicited acts are those produced directly
by the will; they begin and end in this faculty without transcending to
other faculties, as the act of love, hate, or desire. Commanded acts are
those which, although originated in the rational will, are completed
through other internal or external power of man under the control of the
will, as the act of thinking (internal), and acts of walking, talking, writing,
(external)
2. Internal and External Acts The first are performed by the internal
faculties of the soul, as the acts of thinking and loving. The latter are
properly called actions and are produced by the different organs and
senses of the body under the command of the will, as acts of studying,
killing, stealing, etc. an external acts which is beyond the command or
control of the will is no longer a human acts, but an act of man.
3. Good, Bad and Indifferent Acts are those acts which agree, disagree,
or stand in no positive relation, respectively, with the duties of the right
reason or the rules of morality.
4. Natural and Supernatural Acts are those which proceed from the
natural powers of human nature alone or from the supernatural aids given
to man such as the sacraments, grace, faith, etc.
5. Valid and Invalid Acts The valid acts poses all the moral requirements
to produce proper effects. The invalid acts lack one or several of the
required moral conditions. This classification is very important to human
contracts and transactions.
