Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aristotle is committed to the mind-body relationships both in his ethics and in his philosophy of mind. First, his explanation of the virtues of character employs the term 'intermediate' of feelings which should be taken in a quantitative manner, and in such a way as to reveal one's intellectual response to individual situations. Secondly, in his solution to the problem of incontinence, he acknowledges the existence of the mind-body relationship concerning objects of desire. Third, when he explains how animals are moved, his choice of the word 'intellect' for all the recognitions that contribute to animal movements mirrors his wish to focus on the normativity of such recognitions. However, this choice is consistent with his mild monism concerning mind and body. Finally, Aristotle sees 'accidental perceptions' from his wide perspective, which allows him to talk about skills, science and virtues as elements that have led one to an excellent accidental perception of the here and now.
