HUMAN ACTS Cariaga, Jhun Carlo Dimaano, Ma Stephanie Jean Riojia, Joan A. HUMAN ACT AND ACT OF MAN

deliberate free will of a man. It is an act that is deliberately and knowingly performed by one having the use of reason. Act of Man – it is the one that is not dependent upon intellect and free will. FOR AN ACT TO BE CONSIDERED A HUMAN ACT IT MUST POSSESS THE FOLLOWING ESSENTIAL ATTRIBUTES: 1. It must be performed by a conscious agent who is aware of what he is doing and of its consequences. 2. It must be perform by an agent who is acting freely, that is, by his own volition and powers. 3. It must be performed by an agent who decides willfully to perform the act. B. ELEMENT DETERMINING MORALITY: •THE ACT ITSELF •PURPOSE •CIRCUMSTANCES C. PRINCIPLE FOR JUDGING MORALITY 1.
