Rad tematizira čovjeka analizirajući suodnos njegove osjetilne i razumske naravi kroz pisanu ostavštinu Tome Akvinskoga. Cilj ovoga rada je analizirati na koji način strasti oblikuju čovjeka i njegovo životno djelovanje. U prvom dijelu rada opisani su procesi kako osjetilne, tako i razumske ljudske spoznaje. Elaboraciju spoznaje prati analiza ljudske osjetilne i razumske težnje koje su, s obzirom na objekt, bitno povezane sa spoznajom jer je ona preduvjet za težnju. Središnji dio rada bavi se temom strasti te obuhvaća definiciju strasti, moralnost strasti te opis poretka požudnih i gnjevljivih, ali i pojedinačnih strasti u Tominoj misli. Na osobit način pažnja je posvećena ljubavi, mržnji, požudi, užitku, boli, nadi, očaju, strahu, smjelosti i ljutnji, odnosno onim strastima o kojima i Toma razglaba pojedinačno. U razglabanju o ovdje navedenim strastima, ocrtana su njihova glavna obilježja kao i njihovi uzroci te učinci. This paper deals with human being by analyzing the relationship between his sensory and rational nature through the written legacy of Thomas Aquinas. The aim of this paper is to analyze how passions shape human being and his life activities. The first part of the paper describes the processes of both sensory and rational human cognition. The elaboration of cognition is followed by the analysis of human sensory and rational appetite which, with regard to the object, are essentially connected with cognition, considering that cognition is precondition for appetite. The central part in this paper deals with the topic of passion and includes the definition of passions, the morality of passions and a description of the order between concupiscible and irascibile passions, but also includes a description of the individual passions in Thomas' thought. Particular attention is given to love, hate, concupiscience, pleasure, pain, hope, despair, fear, daring and anger, respectively those passions that Thomas discusses individually. In confering about the passions listed here, their main features are outlined as well as their causes and effects.

Toma Akvinski je kršćanski teolog i filozof koji je živio u trinaestom stoljeću. U njegovoj misli jasno je odijeljen objekt filozofije od objekta teologije. Kroz ovaj rad najviše je pažnje posvećeno poziciji čovjeka u filozofskoj misli Tome Akvinskoga. Na samom početku su pojašnjeni najvažniji metafizički pojmovi tomističke filozofije koji predstavljaju temelj analize čovjeka. Čovjek je supstancijalno jedinstvo duše i tijela. Za ljudsku dušu su specifične moći razum i slobodna volja. Dalje se u radu spominju sve moći ljudske duše, dok se u nastavku najviše pažnje posvećuje moći težnje. Obrada moći težnje je uvertira za analizu strasti. Strasti se dijele na požudne kojih ima šest i gnjevljive kojih ima pet. Požudne strasti su ljubav, mržnja, požuda, užitak, bol i tuga, dok su gnjevljive strasti nada, očaj, strah, smjelost i ljutnja. U nastavku se opisuje odnos između gnjevljivih i požudnih strasti iza čega slijedi analiza svih strasti pojedinačno i na kraju zaključak. Thomas Aquinas is a Christian theologian and philosopher who lived in the thirteenth century. In his thought, the object of philosophy is distinguished from the object of theology. Throughout this paper the great attention is provided to the position of man in the philosophical thought of Thomas Aquinas. At the outset, the most significant metaphysical concepts of Thomistic philosophy are explained as they are base for the analysis of man. Man is the substantial unity of body and soul. For the human soul specific powers are reason and free will. Further in this paper are mantioned all powers of human soul, while great attention is provided to the power of desire. Discription of power of desire is an overture for passion analysis. The passions are divided between concupiscible passions where there are six and the irascible passions where there are five. Concupiscible passions are love, hate, concupiscence, pleasure, pain and sorrow, while irascible passions are hope, despair, fear, daring and anger. Furthermore in this paper are described the relationships between concupiscible and irascible passions followed by analyzes of all passions individually and conclusion at the end.
