PROLOGUE

Since, as Damascene states (De Fide Orth. ii, 12), man is said to be made in God’s image, in so far as the image implies “an intelligent being endowed with free-will and self-movement”:  now that we have treated of the exemplar, i.e.  God, and of those things which came forth from the power of God in accordance with His will; it remains for us to treat of His image, i.e. man, inasmuch as he too is the principle of his actions, as having free-will and control of his actions. ________________________

Of man’s last end
(In Eight Articles)

In this matter we shall consider first the last end of human life; and secondly, those things by means of which man may advance towards this end, or stray from the path:  for the end is the rule of whatever is ordained to the end.  And since the last end of human life is stated to be happiness, we must consider (1) the last end in general; (2) happiness.
