- Is the intellectual principle united to the body as its form?
- Is the intellectual principle multiplied numerically according to the number of bodies or is there one intelligence for all men?
- In the body, the form of which is an intellectual principle, is there some other soul?
- In the body is there any other substantial form?
- What are the qualities required in the body of which the intellectual principle is the form?
- Is it united to such a body by means of another body?
- By means of an accident?
- Is the soul wholly in each part of the body?
"It is because the contemporary alternatives seem so one-sided and are not more evidently solutions to the problems which Thomas faced, and partly solved, that we return to him and to the tradition of theology and philosophy in which his Summa Theologiae appears: theology as the science of the first principle and this as the total knowledge of reality in its unity." -- Wayne J. Hankey, God in Himself (Oxford University Press, 1987), p.159.
