Two Greek Aristotelian commentators on the intellect : the De intellectu attributed to Alexander of Aphrodisias, and Themistius' Paraphrase of Aristotle De anima, 3.4-8

Text: English (translation) Original Language: Greek, Latin No Aristotelian Doctrine Had A Greater Influence On Medieval Philosophy And Theology Than That Of The Agent, Or Active, Intellect. This Influence, However, Was Mediated By A Long Tradition Of Exegesis In Which The Greek Commentaries Of Later Antiquity Played A Dominant Role. The Two Commentaries Presented Here Were Known To Have Been Influential In The Middle Ages And The Renaissance. The First Is A Short Treatise Called The De Intellectu, Attributed To Alexander Of Aphrodisias; The Second A Paraphrase Of Aristotle's De Anima (3.4-8) By Themistius, Which Also Includes A Major Interpretation Of De Anima (3.5), The Chapte On The Active Intellect.
