ABSTRACT

Themistius on the Intellect: Peripatetic Arguments for a Platonic Solution?

Type: 
Budapest colloquium talks
Building: 
Nador u. 15
Room: 
202
Date: 
March 16, 2017 - 11:00am to 12:40pm

Themistius is well-known for the bold theory of human intellect presented in his paraphrase of Aristotle’s De anima. Human soul is composite but immortal, depends on a divine intellect, but is at the same time supported by a mortal intellect that depends on the body. Is this view a species of Platonism, or Aristotelianism, harmonisation, or mere eclecticism?
