 The third question (fols. 128v-143v) is whether motion (motus), which is an imperfect act of those beings that are in potentia to something, is the same item in essentia as action and passion. Before answering, Sharpe remarks that we can consider action and passion in two ways: either materially or formally. In the first case, the answer is affirmative, since action and passion share the physical reality of the motion itself. But formally conceived, action and passion are different from each other and from the motion, since they are distinct relational properties (respectus) of the motion.
