Welcome to Thomistic Womanhood. In today’s video, we’re going to continue the beauty, truth, and goodness series. And this is going to be the start of the next leg of the series and the final section that we’re going to cover. So we covered all the beauty videos, and we discussed all the concepts that fall under that heading. We also discussed all the truth, the things spring up, honesty, and, certain realities about dating uncovered all that in the truth section. And now we’re going to start the goodness section. So I’m going to give you a definition of goodness because this is slightly in the philosophical sense,  beauty, truth, and goodness, just like beauty and truth, goodness has a slightly different twist on it, versus the way it’s often portrayed. Nowadays, goodness is often just kind of like being a good person or being nice. And now, in the sense of this series, we’re following the traditional, more ancient sense.

When people say the beauty truth and goodness triode, we’re meaning goodness in the spirit that is often discussed. And so for goodness, I’m going to give you a definition of it to define a way where we mean it. And that definition, like our other definitions, is coming from the Summa. So in question five, Article four, St. Thomas defines goodness as goodness is that which all things desire. And then in question five, Article One, he gives some more kind of color to that. And he says, the essence of goodness consists in this that it is in some way desirable, i.e. it has to do with our appetites or our inclinations. So in this sense, that is what we mean by goodness, it is anything that we consider good, if you think about it, something is considered good. Insofar as it serves some kind of need, there is some sort of inclination we have or appetite, if you’re hungry, food is considered good, if your lonely friends are considered good, if you’re tired, sleep is considered good. And it is in that spirit, in which I am talking about this. So when you want to attract demand, there are certain things that men consider good, in the context of a woman or a relationship. And so in that same sense of good, is what we’re going to cover in this area of the series.

So we’re going to have about how many videos I think about 13. And we’re going to cover a lot of different things that correspond to some sort of inclination that men have. And then, because these are like psychological inclinations we all know about the physical inclination that men think is good about women. We all know about that. But that’s not what I’m talking about. Here. I am talking more about the psychological tendencies that men and women have that draw them to each other. And obviously, this is mostly women, I’m assuming my audience is mostly female. So we’re going to be talking about the psychological inclinations men have and what we women do that can be considered good to them that fit in with those inclinations. So that’s what we’re going to talk about in this series. So I hope that’s helpful. I hope that’s exciting, and stay tuned.
