Note 90 — VI
Reading edition
Naturalism and Agnosticism, vol. ii, p. 245. One thinks naturally of the peripatetic actus primus and actus secundus here. [“Actus autem est duplex: primus et secundus. Actus quidem primus est forma, et integritas sei. Actus autem secundus est operatio.” Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica, edition of Leo XIII, (1894), vol. i, p. 391. Cf. also Blanc: Dictionnaire de Philosophie, under ‘acte.’ Ed.]
