Medieval Perspectives on Aristotle's De Anima
A majority of the various contributions gathered in this collection result from a Colloquium entitled Soul and Intellect: Ancient and Medieval Perspective on the De Anima, which was held in Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) from February 14th to 17th 2007, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Centre De Wulf-Mansion. For reasons of convenience, the contributions relating to Antiquity and those relating to the Middle Ages are the subject of two distinct publications. This volume gathers a series of articles treating various aspects of the reception of the De Anima in the Middle Ages (and even in the Renaissance), from Averroes to Suarez. This volume should thus be regarded as the continuation of the work Ancient Perspectives on Aristotle's De Anima, ed. by G. Van Riel and P. Destree, with the assistance of C. Crawford and L. Van Campe (Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, XLI), Leuven, Leuven University Press, 2010. The contributors are R. Taylor, P. Porro, B. Goehring, T. Hoffmann, J. Casteigt, J. Aertsen, J.-L. Solere, W. Goris, P. Bakker, M. Abraham, S. de Boer, D. Perler, Ch. Shields.
Ancient Perspectives on Aristotle's De Anima
Aristotle's treatise On the Soul figures among the most influential texts in the intellectual history of the West. It is the first systematic treatise on the nature and functioning of the human soul, presenting Aristotle's authoritative analyses of, among others, sense perception, imagination, memory, and intellect. The ongoing debates on this difficult work continue the commentary tradition that dates back to antiquity. This volume offers a selection of essays by distinguished scholars, exploring the ancient perspectives on Aristotle's De anima, from Aristotle's earliest successors through the Aristotelian Commentators at the end of Antiquity.
Encounters with Aristotelian Philosophy of Mind
This collection of essays engages with several topics in Aristotle’s philosophy of mind, some well-known and hotly debated, some new and yet to be explored. The contributors analyze Aristotle’s arguments and present their cases in ways that invite contemporary philosophers of mind to consider the potentials—and pitfalls—of an Aristotelian philosophy of mind. The volume brings together an international group of renowned Aristotelian scholars as well as rising stars to cover five main themes: method in the philosophy of mind, sense perception, mental representation, intellect, and the metaphysics of mind. The papers collected in this volume, with their choice of topics and quality of exposition, show why Aristotle is a philosopher of mind to be studied and reckoned with in contemporary discussions. Encounters with Aristotelian Philosophy of Mind will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of ancient philosophy and philosophy of mind.
