How can beliefs, which are immaterial, be about things? How can the
body be the seat of thought? This book traces the historical roots
of the cognitive sciences and examines pre-modern
conceptualizations of the mind as presented and discussed in the
tradition of commentaries on Aristotle's De anima from 1200 until
1650. It explores medieval and Renaissance views on questions which
nowadays would be classified under the philosophy of mind, that is,
questions regarding the identity and nature of the mind and its
cognitive relation to the material world. In exploring the
development of scholastic ideas, concepts, arguments, and theories
in the tradition of commentaries on De anima, and their relation to
modern philosophy, this book dissolves the traditional
periodization into Middle Ages, Renaissance and early modern times.
By placing key issues in their philosophico-historical context, not
only is due attention paid to Aristotle's own views, but also to
those of hitherto little-studied medieval and Renaissance
commentators.
