- Whether intention is only of the last end?
Whether intention is only of the last end?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that intention is only of the last end. For it is said in the book of Prosper's Sentences (Sent. 100): "The intention of the heart is a cry to God." But God is the last end of the human heart. Therefore intention is always regards the last end.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, intention regards the end as the terminus, as stated above (Article [1], ad 4). But a terminus is something last. Therefore intention always regards the last end.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, just as intention regards the end, so does enjoyment. But enjoyment is always of the last end. Therefore intention is too.
