Constitutive Principle

Although it excludes interaction, the equality of body and mind is not parallelism, in which everything repeats itself identically and interchangeably. Equality is not uniformity; it allows differential treatment of the body and mind, according to the constitutive principle of affect.

The Voice

An act-theoretical view on the profile of responsibility discourse shows in what sense not only all kinds of technical, pragmatic and moral reason, but also all kinds of religious motivation cannot justify a human action sufficiently without acknowledgment to three basic principles of human autonomy as supreme limiting conditions that are human dignity, sense, and justifiability. According to Thomas Aquinas human beings ultimately owe their moral autonomy to a divine creator. So this autonomy can be considered as an expression of secondary-cause autonomy and as the voice of God in the enlightened conscience.
