Self-Knowledge in Petrus Hispanus’ Commentary on the De anima

In the Sententia cum questionibus in libros De anima I-II Aristotelis (c. 1240), attributed to Petrus Hispanus, the recovered Aristotelian understanding of the soul does not completely replace the old Neoplatonic frame.

The aim of this paper is to describe Sententia’s view on self-knowledge analysing it in the context of its eclectic psychology and epistemology.

En la Sententia cum questionibus in libros De anima I-II Aristotelis (c. 1240), atribuida a Pedro Hispano, la recuperada comprensión aristotélica del alma no reemplaza completamente el viejo marco neoplatónico. En efecto, el comentario defiende que existe un autoconocimiento del alma desde el nacimiento, antes de la adquisición de las especies. El artículo expondrá la concepción de la Sententia sobre autoconocimiento, analizándola en el contexto de la ecléctica psicología y epistemología del comentario. El objetivo es demostrar que, aunque el comentario en principio se sitúa en un contexto neoplatónico, Pedro Hispano parece terminar mostrando mayor afinidad con un concepto de ciencia aristotélico.
