Request: TLMs in Downtown Paris and Downtown Leuven

Request: TLMs in Downtown Paris and Downtown Leuven

Dear Friends of Ite ad Thomam,

I will be in Paris next week for a philosophy conference on "Aquinas and the Arabs" at the Sorbonne, from Monday, May 29 to Sunday, June 3, and I am seeking to attend the TLM on a daily basis while there.  I will be staying close to the Sorbonne itself.  Then, from June 3 to June 7, I will be at another conference on Albert the Great at the Catholic University in Leuven (Belgium).  There I will also be staying close to the university.  Does anyone know of TLMs I can access daily, preferably at walking distance (15 minute walk), from both of those places?    I'm aware of what is published in WikkiMissa, but maybe someone has extra info.  Any help would be appreciated.  Please give your input in the comments section.

In Christo rege,
Paco

Quaeritur: Are Secondary Substances the Same as First Intentions?

Quaeritur: Are Secondary Substances the Same as First Intentions?

Quaeritur: Dr. Romero, are “second substance” and “first intention” in logic the same thing? 

Respondeo: They are not exactly identical; secondary substances are either first intentions or second intentions. Primary substances are real, extramental substances, whereas secondary substances are beings of reason (entia rationis), that is, the ideas or intentions that we form in the mind. For example, that horse over there eating grass on the field is a primary substance, whereas the idea of 'horseness' that I form in my mind is a secondary substance.  Now, these intentions or ideas come in two kinds: first intentions, which are ideas that directly represent reality, such as my idea of 'horseness', and second intentions, which are ideas about ideas, or ideas concerning the relationships between ideas, such as my idea of 'genus' and 'species'.  Logic is the science of second intentions.
