مفهوم العقل وتوظيفه في الفلسفة الأرسطية

Abstract EN

The Aristotelian conception of the meaning of mind is quite different from the perception of the predecessors of the Greek philosophers, before the first teacher is not found in the Socrates or Plato or the previous philosophers, the mind chaotic, and the mind or other effective, but these sections found with Aristotle -The meaning of reason is limited to the former as a higher force of the material, on the basis that the mind is the one who manages the material, and ruled through the movement, and this is what we find when Enksagoras.

-In Aristotle, we found more clarity and preference for the meaning of the mind through its meaning, and through the sections that divided the mind into it.

-But this does not mean that Aristotle built this structure from nothing.

He was influenced by the theory of Anaxagoras in the mind and followed him in that, and then modified his theory in line with his doctrine, because Enxagoras puts the mind in everything not only in man,, And the cause of the system, but Aristotle does not make the mind active but passive.

-Despite Aristotle's contribution to the understanding of the mind, his conception does not rise to the point where it can be said that he has developed an integrated theory of mind, because his talk about mind is somewhat ambiguous, especially with regard to the effective mind.

He was troubled by the fact that the mind was part of the human soul or was outside it, which led many of his commentaries to disagree on this subject
