This paper presents an exposition and discussion of a number of cardinal issues relating to the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas.
The questions that are dealt with relate to the central problems of Thomist philosophy; as well as to issues of cohesion and integration in terms of the overall understanding of Aquinas' philosophy and theology. The paper discusses questions such as: 'what is the extent or necessity of the
independence of memory, will and
sensibility?', 'to what extent is the independence of the will necessary in the attainment of immortality?' and 'how is the imagination separate from memory?'. The central locus of the dissertation is an examination of these aspects - the will, memory, imagination, sensibility and the question of sin and immortality.
