ACTS OF MAN
•Acts of man are instinctive and are not within
the control of the will.
•Such actions are the biological and physiological
movements in man such as metabolism,
respiration, fear, anger, love, and jealousy.
HUMAN ACT
The human act has the following characteristics:
1. KNOWING which is performed consciously by the
agent and he is aware of its consequences.
2. FREE which is performed by an agent freely, that
is by his own volition and powers.
3. WILLFUL that is performed by an agent who
decides willfully to do the act.
HUMAN ACT
•The lack of any of the three attributes renders an
act defective and less voluntary.
•Human act is imputable to the agent. This means
that the person performing the act is liable for
such an act. The does is either deserving of
reward or punishment.
Classifications of actions
•MORAL ACTIONS are good actions and they are
permissible.
•IMMORAL ACTIONS are evil and they are not
permissible.
•AMORAL ACTIONS are neither good nor evil. But
there are amoral actions that may become good
or bad because of the circumstances attendant
to them.
