Summary
This chapter briefly examines how the Summa Halensis approaches some of the main topics treated in this book – such as the soul’s relation to the body, cognition, and free will – in the case of angels which are not subject to the bodily limitations of humans but can nevertheless assume a human body in order to minister to humans on behalf of the divine.
