Whether the goodness of the will depends on reason?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that the goodness of the will does not depend on reason. For what comes first does not depend on what follows. But the good belongs to the will before it belongs to reason, as is clear from what has been said above (Question [9], Article [1]). Therefore the goodness of the will does not depend on reason.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, the Philosopher says (Ethic. vi, 2) that the goodness of the practical intellect is "a truth that is in conformity with right desire." But right desire is a good will. Therefore the goodness of the practical reason depends on the goodness of the will, rather than conversely.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, the mover does not depend on that which is moved, but vice versa. But the will moves the reason and the other powers, as stated above (Question [9], Article [1]). Therefore the goodness of the will does not depend on reason.
