This book emphasizes that Aristotle was aware of the philosophical
attempt to subordinate divine Intellect (nou: V) to a prior and
absolute principle. Nyvlt argues that Aristotle transforms the
Platonic doctrine of Ideal Numbers into an astronomical account of
the unmoved movers, which function as the multiple intelligible
content of divine Intellect. Thus, within Aristotle we have in germ
the Plotinian doctrine that the intelligibles are within the
Intellect. While the content of divine Intellect is multiple, it
does not imply that divine Intellect possesses a degree of
potentiality, given that potentiality entails otherness and
contraries. Rather, the very content of divine Intellect is itself;
it is Thought Thinking Itself ( s se s ). The pure activity of
divine Intellect, moreover, allows for divine Intellect to know the
world, and the acquisition of this knowledge does not infect divine
Intellect with potentiality. The status of the intelligible
object(s) within divine Intellect is pure activity that is
identical with divine Intellect itself, as T. De Koninck and H.
Seidl have argued. Therefore, the intelligible objects within
divine Intellect are not separate entities that determine divine
Intellect, as is the case in Plotinus.
