Lottin, lac. , p. 178. 20 THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEMS ploys it to refer to precepts which are not obligatory in the absolute sense, but which are nonetheless highly recommended. 1 There is yet another use S. Thomas makes of this term. In Lottin's own words, "It is not a question of precepts which are not strictly obligatory ... it is not a question of conclusions strictly deduced from first principles ... "2 Lottin's interpretation will be tested after we have examined S. Thomas's doctrine concerning the distinction between primary and secondary precepts.
Q. 65, a.!. • S. , d. 24, q. 2, a. 3; d. 39, q. 3, a. , q. 16, aa. 1 and2; Ia Pars, q. 79, a. 12. For a valuable commentary on S. Thomas's employment of the term synderesis, see M. B. Crowe, "The term synderesis and the Scholastics," II, 1. , 23 (1956), pp. 228-245. 26 THE CONCEPT OF "SELF EVIDENCE" Sentences many commentators discussed the nature and meaning of this term, but they reached no agreement over certain fundamental questions. Is synderesis a faculty? And ifso, is it a faculty distinct from reason?
In the case of more complex terms, these can never be known by everyone and so universal self-evidence is not possible. 1 Nevertheless, S. Thomas shows 1 It is clear from these comments that the term "analytic" has a rather relative use. It would be incorrect to regard analytic propositions as comprising a certain finite class, what is analytic for one person or group of people may not be so for another. Furthermore while in the first instance we might not see a proposition as analytic, as we come to learn mor~ about the terms involved so we see that it is analytic.
