And Yet Another Thought.
The innocent man is by necessity inculpable, however the inculpable man is not by necessity innocent.
Some More Thoughts for the Day on Moral Objects.
Intention of will(Finis Operantis): The appetite directed toward a certain ontic state; the desired state being its "object".
Intention of act(Finis Operis): The ontic state to be instantiated by the act; the acts' "object".
Realising our intentions: The process of instantiating the object of our will through the the instantiation of the objects of our acts.
The realised ontic state of the will may be achieved through one or many acts.
Both acts and intent have objects and these objects become moral when subjected to the standard of the morality. Without morality, there is no moral object.
Through the Finis Operis we achieve the Finis Operantis.
