This volume reconstructs Alexander of Aphrodisias's doctrine of the soul and, in particular, his theory of intellect to present it as an enlightening, innovative, and systematizing interpretation of Aristotelian philosophy. It reveals the relevance of Alexander's interpretation for current debates about the intellect and highlights the originality of his contribution to the historical terminological development of the idea of reason.
