Ideas, Essences, Concepts and Divine Art. Could a Central Aspect of Plato’s Theory of Ideas Be Compatible With a Metaphysics of Aristotelian Learnings?
Keywords:
Aristotelian metaphysics, Platonic Ideas, divine Ideas, sensible and intellectual knowledge, anamnesis
Abstract
This paper first expounds the Aristotelian conception of universals. Afterwards, it determines (a) that in the metaphysics of the Stagirite there is place for divine Ideas as archetypes, and (b) which are the relations that exist between things and Ideas. It concludes, in the light of the above, with a reconsideration of the Aristotelian critique of Plato’s theory of anamnesis.Downloads
