«Saber no’s pot tal bé si no és sentit». he Knowledge for Innate Naturalness in the Ausiàs March’s Chant CVI

Josep Torras i Bages, in his book La tradició catalana, affirms that the poetic work of Ausiàs March is an exposition of the psychological doctrine contained in the Thomas Aquinas’ Summa. Following this suggestion, we propose reading the CVI canto of the catalan poet paying attention to some fragments of the Summa Theologiae. We would like to emphasize a doctrine that is sometimes neglected, but that March knew well. This doctrine is that each practical judgment is not only integrated by an intellectual element (by «knowing» the good), but also by an experience of the concordance between the good expressed by the intellect and the natural inclination of the will (by a «feeling»).
