Summary
One should next consider the object of fear. About this point, six queries are raised. (1) Whether a good is an object of fear, or an evil. (2) Whether an evil of nature is an object of fear. (3) Whether there is fear of the evil of being at fault (culpa). (4) Whether fear itself can be feared. (5) Whether surprising things are more feared. (6) Whether the things for which there is no remedy are more feared.
