To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if the active in- tellect is something belonging to the soul, as one of its powers, we are bound to say that there are as many active intellects as there are souls, which are multiplied according to the number of men, as we have said above (Q. LXXVL, A. 2). For it is impossible that one same power belong to various substances.
Reply Obj. i. The Philosopher proves that the active intellect is separate, by the fact that the passive intellect is separate : because, as he says (loc. cit.), the ...agent is more noble than the patient. Now the passive intellect is said to I03 THE INTELLECTUAL POWERS Q. 79- Art. 6 be separate, because it is not the act of any corporeal organ.
And in the same sense the active intellect is also called separate; but not as a separate substance.
Reply Obj. 2. The active intellect is the cause of the universal, by abstracting it from matter. But for this purpose it need not be the same intellect in all intelligent beings; but it must be one in its relationship to all those things from which it abstracts the universal, with respect to which things the universal is one.
