Principles Every agent acts for an ultimate or absolute
last end.
– This is the origin of all human movements and the first cause of all human actions.
– Without this ultimate end in mind there will be no action.
– If there were no last end, nothing would be desired nor would any action have its term nor would the intention of the agent be at rest. (St. Thomas)

Principles Every agent has the power of moving for an
end which is suitable or good for him.
– Every agent acts for a Good (St. Thomas)• The Good is that which satisfies the appetite; the
object of our striving; the thing which can confer perfection and satisfaction to ourselves, especially our human faculties (Intellect and will).

aggregation of all good things.

since it is seldom discovered. (Spinoza)

will needs to reach the very essence of the First Cause. (Perfect Knowledge & Supreme Good)
