Del uso de la voluntad en el De anima de Suárez

Journal Title: Scientia et Fides - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

On the use of the will in the Suárez’s De anima Suarez defines the notion of dominion [dominium] in the relationship that human beings have with the world and with reality. This dominion is linked to the psychological notion of ‘use’, which Suarez describes as an act of will in his book ‘De anima’. ‘To use’ is a specific capacity of the human will, but it must be understood primarily not as appropriation but as the ability to create a rational and freely mediation with the reality and to order the things at the end that human being proposes.
