It focuses directly on Averroes\u2019 arguments, both from the text of Aristotle\u2019s De Anima and, more importantly, his own philosophical arguments in the Long Commentary on the De Anima. Ogden defends Averroes\u2019 interpretation of Aristotle\u2019s DA III.4\u20135 (using Greek, Arabic, Latin, and contemporary sources). Yet, the author insists that Averroes is not merely a \u201ccommentator\u201d but also an incisive philosopher in his own right. Ogden thus reconstructs and analyzes Averroes\u2019 two most significant independent philosophical arguments, the Determinate Particular Argument and the Unity Argument. Alternative ancient and medieval views are considered throughout, especially from two important foils before and after Averroes, namely Avicenna (Ibn S\u012bn\u0101) and Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas\u2019s most famous and penetrating arguments against the unicity thesis are also addressed. Finally, Ogden considers Averroes\u2019 own objections to broader metaphysical views of the soul such as Avicenna\u2019s and Aquinas\u2019s, which agree with him on several key points (e.g., the immateriality of the intellect and the individuation of human souls by matter), while still diverging on the number and substantial nature of the intellect. The central aim of the book is to provide readers a single study of Averroes\u2019 most pivotal arguments on intellect, consolidating and building on recent scholarship and offering a comprehensive case for his unicity thesis in the wider context of Aristotelian epistemology and metaphysics.","btype":1,"date":"2022","language":"English","online_url":"","doi_url":"10.1093\/oso\/9780192896117.001.0001","ti_url":"","categories":[{"id":21,"category_name":"Aristotle","link":"bib?categories[]=Aristotle"},{"id":51,"category_name":"Thomas","link":"bib?categories[]=Thomas"},{"id":10,"category_name":"Avicenna","link":"bib?categories[]=Avicenna"},{"id":46,"category_name":"De anima","link":"bib?categories[]=De anima"},{"id":31,"category_name":"Metaphysics","link":"bib?categories[]=Metaphysics"}],"authors":[{"id":1681,"full_name":"Stephen R.

Building on a thorough analysis of key texts in Aquinas\u2019 Commentary on the Sentences (1255), I argue in this paper that those who hold Aquinas\u2019 noetic to be anti-averroistic are greatly mistaken: while Siger\u2019s always superficial rushdian inspiration is better understood against the background of a neoplatonic-tinged mind-body dualism clearly at odds with Ibn Ru\u0161d\u2019s own strictly peripatetic ontology, Aquinas\u2019 psychology, hylomorfic and not-dualist at its core, is aristotelian mainly inasmuch as it is rushdian.

Both philosophers think that they are following Aristotle in making their claims about the will and the intellects. This paper will examine the issue of will and the related issue of the intellects as it appears in the Aristotelian texts and in the subsequent work of Averroes and Aquinas. It will argue that at least some of the divergence in Averroes and Aquinas can be attributed to an issue of translation regarding De Anima, and a difference in the role of cogitation and the intellects regarding will.","btype":3,"date":"2013","language":"English","online_url":"","doi_url":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5840\/acpaproc201441414","ti_url":"","categories":[{"id":51,"category_name":"Thomas","link":"bib?categories[]=Thomas"},{"id":21,"category_name":"Aristotle","link":"bib?categories[]=Aristotle"},{"id":46,"category_name":"De anima","link":"bib?categories[]=De anima"}],"authors":[{"id":1618,"full_name":"Traci Phillipson","role":1}],"works":[],"republication_of":null,"translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"book":null,"booksection":null,"article":{"id":2041,"journal_id":null,"journal_name":"Proceedings of the American Catholic Philosophical Association","volume":"87","issue":null,"pages":"231-247"}},"sort":["The Will in Averroes and Aquinas"]}
