- Title
INCORPÓREO E INMATERIAL EN ARISTÓTELES.
- Authors
Relancio Menéndez, Alberto
- Abstract
«Incorporeal and immaterial in Aristotle». The article argues that the word «metaphysics» does not exist in ancient Greek, and, therefore, is not part of the vocabulary of Aristotle. For this reason, the identification of the medieval or modern metaphysics with the contents of the Aristotelian philosophy is very problematic. On the other hand, Aristotle never wrote that the unmoved mover, his God, had an immaterial nature. This term, «immaterial», was not coined by him and will not appear until Plutarch. A possible synonym for this term (used by Plato), «incorporeal», does not apply never, explicitly, to the pure act or the active intellect. In summary, taking into account these terminological and conceptual examples, where is the boundary that separates to Aristotle's philosophy from that of his interpreters?
