Forming the Mind deals with the internal senses, the mind/body problem and other problems associated with the concept of mind as it developed from Avicenna to the medical Enlightenment. The book collects essays from some of the foremost scholars in a relatively new and very promising field of research. It stresses how important and fruitful it is to see the time period between 1100 and 1700 as one continuous tradition, and brings together scholars working on the same issues in the Arabic, Jewish and Western philosophical traditions. In this respect, this collection opens up several new and interesting perspectives on the history of the philosophy of mind.

Сторінка 99 - Wir werden uns gewisser Vorstellungen bewußt, die nicht von uns abhängen; andere, glauben wir wenigstens, hingen von uns ab; wo ist die Grenze? Wir kennen nur allein die Existenz unserer Empfindungen, Vorstellungen und Gedanken. Es denkt, sollte man sagen, so wie man sagt: es blitzt Zu sagen cogito, ist schon zu viel, sobald man es durch Ich denke übersetzt Das Ich anzunehmen, zu postulieren, ist praktisches Bedürfnis.
Сторінка 98 - Quantum igitur ad actualem cognitionem qua aliquis considérât se in actu animam habere, sic dico quod anima cognoscitur per actus suos. In hoc enim aliquis percipit se animam habere, et vivere, et esse, quod percipit se sentire et intelligere, et alia hujusmodi vitae opéra exercere. Unde dicit Philosophus in IX Ethic : Sentimus autem quoniam sentimus ; et intelligimus quoniam intelligimus ; et quia hoc sentimus, intelligimus quoniam sumus.
Сторінка 63 - Quando vidi costui nel gran diserto, Miserere di me, gridai a lui, Qual che tu sii, od ombra, od uomo certo.
Сторінка 100 - Unde mens nostra non potest se intelligere ita quod se ipsam immediate apprehendat, sed ex hoc quod apprehendit alia devenit in suam cognitionem, sicut et natura materiae primae cognoscitur ex hoc ipso quod est talium formarum receptiva.
Сторінка 77 - Est autem duplex immutatio, una naturalis et alia spiritualis: naturalis quidem, secundum quod forma immutantis recipitur in immutato secundum esse naturale, sicut calor in calefacto; spiritualis autem secundum quod forma immutantis recipitur in immutato secundum esse spirituale, ut forma coloris in pupilla, qua; non fit per hoc colorata.
Сторінка 99 - Sed quantum ad habitualem cognitionem sic dico quod anima per essentiam suam se videt, id est, ex hoc ipso quod essentia sua est sibi praesens, est potens exire in actum cognitionis sui ipsius...
Сторінка 78 - Although the position I describe denies there are psychophysical laws, it is consistent with the view that mental characteristics are in some sense dependent, or supervenient, on physical characteristics. Such supervenience might be taken to mean that there cannot be two events alike in all physical respects but differing in some mental respects, or that an object cannot alter in some mental respect without altering in some physical respect.
Сторінка 63 - And lived at Rome under the good Augustus, During the time of false and lying gods. A poet was I, and I sang that just Son of Anchises, who came forth from Troy, After that Ilion the superb was burned.
Сторінка 99 - ... ex ipsa praesentia habitus, est potens percipere illa quae subsunt illi habitui. Ad hoc autem quod percipiat anima se esse, et quid in seipsa agatur attendat, non requiritur aliquis habitus; sed ad hoc sufficit sola essentia animae, quae menti est praesens: ex ea enim actus progrediuntur, in quibus actualiter ipsa percipitur.
