[@Renegen1]

what book are these taken from?

[@ElliotPolskyPhilosophy]

These "Thomistic Anthropology" videos are mostly drawing from Aquinas's "Treatise on Man." The Treatise on Man can be found in the first part of the Summa theologiae, questions 75-102. Question 78 is the most important question for this video.
