From phantasma to intellectus. The philosophical reworking of the peripatetic theory of cognition in the De anima commentary of Albert the Great

阿尔伯特大帝(1200-1280)是欧洲大学文化的先驱思想家之一。从科隆开始，他的教义建立了一个独特的思想流派。灵魂理论和智力理论是他的新人类学的支柱-主要受巡回思想的影响-他在13世纪中叶将其带到了高度复杂的水平。他对亚里士多德的论文《德阿尼玛》的评论，写于1254年左右，是他努力强调人类认识和思想的高贵的核心。尽管这篇评论很重要，但关于阿尔伯特的现代研究并没有产生系统地在这三本书以及相关著作中系统地揭示其创新内容的认识论研究。这一明显的研究空白应该用拟议的专著来填补。对这部哲学巨著的分析将考察与感知和知识如何获得有关的定理。分析和解释将通过仔细检查案文并以认识论和系统的方式进行。这本书的手稿是在最初提案的框架内进行的，在为期两年的工作期间，很明显，关于这一复杂问题的适当工作需要额外一年的紧张研究。这项研究的中心论点是，与托马斯·冯·阿金不同，阿尔伯特将知识的各个阶段建立在一个连续的抽象过程上。这一过程的实现阶段是建立在彼此之上的，这些阶段由形式的认知隔离所决定。他既包括知识的外部阶段，也包括内部敏感的特定阶段，这些阶段是关于普遍存在的智力理解水平上的想象的图像的感官定义的艺术形式，正在变得可理解。游历定义的知识模型是建立在以下认知功能的基础上的：表现形式的超形定义的认知功能，灵魂的实质统一的概念，在功能上包含所有知识能力的灵魂的实质统一的概念，以及一种在当时是新的、关注整个人类及其灵魂的所有潜力的人类学。为了使这一非常先进的项目有一个可靠的结束，有必要继续一年的长度，以产生一本印刷的书。

Albert the Great (1200-1280) is among the pioneering thinkers of European university culture. Starting in Cologne, his teachings founded a distinct school of thought. Theories of the soul and of intellect are pillars of his new anthropology - mainly influenced by peripatetic thought - which he brings to a high level of sophistication in the middle of the 13th century. His commentary of the Aristotelian treatise De anima, written around 1254, is at the centre of his endeavors to emphasize the nobility of human recognition and thought. Despite the importance of the commentary, modern research about Albert has produced no epistemological study that systematically opens up its innovative content in all three books as well as in the accompanying writings. This conspicuous research gap shall be filled with the proposed monograph. The analysis of this philosophical magnum opus will examine theorems concerned with how perception and knowledge are accessed. The analysis and interpretation will be undertaken by a close inspection of the text and in an epistemological and systematic manner. During the two-year work on the book manuscript, which has been undertaken within in the framework of the initial proposal, it became apparent that the appropriate work on this complex matter needs and additional year of intense research. The central argument of this research is that - in contrast to Thomas von Aquin - Albert based the stages of knowledge on a continuous process of abstraction. The stages of realization of this process, which are determined by the cognitive segregation of form are built upon each other. He includes the outer as well as the inner sensitive-particular stages of knowledge, which sensually defined forms of art regarding the images of imagination on the universal level of intellectual understanding of being are being made intelligible. The peripatetic defined model of knowledge is built upon the cognitive function of representation of the hylomorphic definition of form, the concept of a substantial unity of the soul which incorporates all capability of knowledge functionally, and a anthropology which was new at that time and which focuses on the entire human with all the potential of his soul. In order to bring this very advanced project to a reputable conclusion, a continuation of the length of one year resulting in a printed book is necessary.
