Beskrivelse
This book is inspired by the quest for the proper function of Aristotle's active intellect presented in De Anima 3.5. The urge to grasp its essence has always driven philosophy ahead. Nevertheless, the true nature of nous poietikos remains far from being grasped. Author didn't unravel it here either, her aim wass far more modest: to get through the existing interpretations and try to systematise them somehow. To speak in a more poetic, metaphorical way: author aim was to shed some light upon the subject - explore the light metaphor from De Anima 3.5 on many levels. To avoid getting lost in Aristotle and Aristotelian interpretations, Author have divided the readings of nous poietikos into mystical and rational ones.
