In recent years the majority of scholarship on Aristotle's
philosophy of mind has concentrated on his account of sensation and
has generally sought to find in his ancient account insights
applicable to contemporary materialistic explanations of mental
life. Challenging cognitivist and functionalist interpretations,
this volume argues that Aristotle believed the mind to be unmixed,
or separate from the body. Through careful textual analysis of De
Anima and other key texts, the author shows that the Greek
philosopher made a clear distinction between perception-an activity
realized in material sense organs-and thinking-a process that
cannot occur in any material organ. This innovative interpretation
of Aristotle's theory of cognitive activities is a worthy
contribution to an ongoing debate.
