Alberti Magni VII/II B: De Intellectu Et Intelligibili

Volume 7/2B of the Editio Coloniensis of Albert the Great's Opera Omnia (ca. 12001280) contains his treatise "De intellectu et intelligibili." This work, which belongs to the Peripatetic tradition of treatises on the intellect, addresses a variety of central philosophical themes, ranging from the origin of the human soul and the doctrine of universals to the concept of the "bios theoretikos" as a paradigm of perfect human life. Due to its extraordinary density, the treatise is one of the core works of Albert's philosophical reflection, offering profound insight into anthropology at the intersection of psychology, epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics.
