Colloquium 5: Theoretical Nous And Its Objects In Aristotle
Proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium of Ancient Philosophy 28 (1):161-180 (2013)
Abstract
This paper argues for a novel reading of the nature of theoretical nous and its objects, focusing on Aristotle's account in De Anima III.4. It is argued that theoretical nous is not best conceived in this context as a faculty, but as understanding. Moreover the nature of that understanding varies depending on its object's relationship to matter.Author's Profile
