WORD STUDY
I. Ex parte. This phrase is used in the sense of upon or from one side
only, from the standpoint of. Thus we may consider education ex
parte magistri or ex parte discipuli; psychology studies man ex parte
animae, biology considers man ex parte corporis.
2. Virtus means not only virtue in the sense of a moral habit, but
also active quality or power, capacity or power adequate to the production
of a given effect, energy, strength, efficacy.
3. Potentia, actus. Philosophically these terms refer to possible existence
and real existence. What is in potentia is possible but has not
come into existence. What exists is in aetu.
