These explanations seem to overlap at certain points, leading to theoretical equivalences or apparent contradictions among them. In this work, we analyze the division between ratio cum portione inferiori et superiori, the concept of the practical intellect, Albert’s explanation of a passage from John of Damascus concerning the “psychological process of action”, and the treatment of synderesis, natural law, and conscience. En la Summa de creaturis (escrita aproximadamente en 1242) Alberto Magno expone diferentes explicaciones sobre los aspectos racionales de las acciones humanas. Estas explicaciones parecen superponerse en alguno o varios puntos, dando como resultado equivalencias teóricas o contradicciones aparentes entre una explicación y otra. En este trabajo analizaremos la división entre ratio cum portione inferiori et superiori, el concepto de intelecto práctico, la explicación albertina de un pasaje del Damasceno sobre el “proceso psicológico de la acción”, y el abordaje de la sindéresis, la ley natural y la conciencia.

In the Summa de creaturis (written approximately in 1242), Albert the Great presents different explanations of the rational aspects of human actions. These explanations seem to overlap at certain points, leading to theoretical equivalences or apparent contradictions among them. In this work, we analyze the division between ratio cum portione inferiori et superiori, the concept of the practical intellect, Albert’s explanation of a passage from John of Damascus concerning the “psychological process of action”, and the treatment of synderesis, natural law, and conscience. |
