Bartnik, Czesław S. (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 1994)
The classical thought has described reality in the aspect of cognition and truth (alethikorr, verum). Personalism wants to undertake an attempt at defining reality also in the aspect of the good (agathon, bonum) and tendency (thelema, boulema, voluntas, desiderium, tendentia). The good and tendency are a significant modality of the personal being given a will. Moreover, the good and tendency secondarily define also the impersonal being which has its own reason only insomuch as it remains in a certain relation to a personal being; first of all to the Uncreated; and secondarily also to a created one.
