Description
Summary:Against the background of Thomas Aquinas's distribution of cognitive functions to four really distinct interior senses - the common sense, the phantasy alias the imagination,the cogitative power and the memory alias the reminiscence -, I present Francisco Suárez's substantial reduction of the cognitive scope of his single internal sense, which he calls phantasia. I will claim that the main reasons for such curtailing which is not concerned only with the reduction of the number of interior senses are Suárez's theory of the efficient causality of the soul and his specific concept of the intellect and its object.
En contra la posición de Tomás de Aquino de la distribución de las funciones cognitivas de la distinción real de los sentidos interiores - sentido común, fantasía o imaginación, potencia cogitativa y memoria o reminisciencia-, presento la reducción sustancial del alcance cognitivo del sentido interno simple, llamada fantasía, que realiza Francisco Suárez. Señalo las principales y diversas razones que implica la reducción del número de los sentidos interiores en la teoría de Suárez de la causalidad eficiente del alma y su concepto específico del intelecto y su objeto
