Spirit and Its Freedom

Thomas discusses the nature of the spirit that moves in persons, gives dignity to their common life, and produces in them the fruits of culture. He shows that the human spirit has a distinctive nature and a distinctive freedom and that it can manifest its nature and exercise its freedom in the sphere of social and political conflict.
