Abstract

We start from a line of research that studies the prophetic knowledge in Islamic philosophy of the classical period, as a symbol and a promise of perfect knowledge which can be reached by man. And from this place, we ask after the meaning of perfect knowledge in Suarez’s epistemology. We will discuss a number of issues that will emerge from the analysis of the faculty of imagination inserted into an intentional conception of knowledge supported on two pillars: a theory of representation, explained by the mediation of intentional species and a theory of understanding, ending in judicative judgment as a path to truth. The depth and branching statements that present problems will cause us to focus on the last one.
