Kelsey, Sean: Mind and World in Aristotle's De Anima

Intended for scholars and advanced students of the De Anima, this original study asks why (in Aristotle's view) it is in human nature to know reality, and follows the thread of this question-and its answer-throughout the work.'Sean Kelsey asks important questions about Aristotle's views on the fit between the mind or soul and the world. How are humans knowers and perceivers? How is the world knowable and perceivable? The proposed answers shed new light on the De Anima and on the methods Aristotle uses to pursue these questions.'
