Synderesis

Synderesis, in scholastic moral philosophy, is the natural capacity or disposition of the practical reason to apprehend intuitively the universal first principles of human action. Reason is a single faculty, but is called differently according to the end that it assigns to its search for truth; when its goal is the mere consideration of truth, it is called speculative reason; when it considers truth in view of action, it is called practical reason. In both cases reason uses demonstration as its tool; it proceeds from the understanding of previously known truths to the statement of a proposition whose truth follows necessarily from the premises. How do we know that those premises are true? Because they are themselves conclusions of previous demonstrations. Although we could take back this process of demonstration of the truth of premises as far as we want, a regression ad infinitum would deprive the demonstrative chain of certitude. Consequently it is necessary that the point of departure of human reasoning be some immediately knowable, i.e.
