“…Studied since ancient times by historic figures such as Plato, Aristotle (e.g., Knuuttila, 2008) and Leonardo da Vinci (e.g., Richter, 1977), the present research continues the journey, focusing on the genetic basis of odour perception. We present a preliminary investigation for cis-3-hexen-1-ol (alternatively, Z3-hexenol), a green leaf volatile (e.g., Hatanaka, 1993) and extend this analysis to include evidence that points to a possible genetic basis for cis-3-hexen-1-ol odour perception.…”

“…From the standpoint of Avicenna's view, the human mind at the beginning of life is in the stage of potentiality empty of any kind of thought, and gradually sensory organs receive some impressions by establishing a direct contact with the material world. Here, he puts forward Aristotelian theory of potency to prove that there is a kind of passive and active relationship between human intellect empty at birth and the external objects (Knuuttila, 2008). In fact, sense perception plays a primitive role in knowing the external world and within a cognitive process provides the opportunity of apprehending intelligible forms.…”

This paper focuses on the approaches of two rationalist philosophers, namely Avicenna from the East, and Descartes from the West, on the epistemic relationship between the human mind and the external world. The introspective reflection of both philosophers is the starting point on which they establish their epistemic structure spanning a passage over this gap. Their engagement in this introspection bears some considerable similarities and distinctions which allow me to do a comparison between some of their epistemic theories which are based on their rationalism and explain how a person exceeds selfawareness to be aware of the external world. Taking a detailed look at the two thinkers' methodologies and their approaches to self-awareness, the effort tries to analyze systematically their epistemological theories explicating the cognitive relationship between the mind and the external world. In the course of the discussion, Avicenna's theory concerning the actualization of quiddity either with the mental or with the objective existence is compared with Descartes' meditations according to which through a dynamic series of mental exercises the mind follows in its journey from an absolute doubt to an absolute certainty. The discussion leads to raise some fundamental questions of their expositions proceeding from self-reflection to the awareness of the outer world. Although the critical discourses in the history of philosophy on the ideas of the two philosophers assist me in this research, the methodology of this research is concerned with the conceptual analysis rather than historical influences.

“…La recepción de la tradición aristotélica en el pensamiento medieval posee una profusa producción. A modo de introducción, véase: Amerini y Galluzzo (2014);Knuuttila (2008). En relación a las Siete Partidas, véase el estudio clásicode Ferreiro Alemparte (1988).…”

La naturaleza sensorial del poder regio en la Segunda Partida de Alfonso X

El proceso de construcción del poder regio castellano, a lo largo de la Baja Edad Media, reviste múltiples aristas presentes en la ingente bibliografía desarrollada durante el siglo pasado y en las primeras décadas de la actual centuria. En esta oportunidad, proponemos reflexionar sobre la naturaleza sensorial de las relaciones que estableció el monarca con sus súbditos, puesto que el poder no solo se ve, sino que se siente y expresa en la corporeidad. Esta faceta sensorial del poder fue un punto de atención destacado en la labor legislativa codificada en las Siete Partidas de Alfonso X. En consecuencia, el objetivo de este trabajo será realizar un primer acercamiento a las mediaciones que establecen los sentidos en las relaciones entre el pueblo y su rey, centrándonos especialmente en la Segunda Partida de la obra alfonsí, teniendo como base las conceptualizaciones aristotélicas sobre la sensorialidad. Ello nos permitirá examinar cómo se elaboró un esquema particular del microcosmos del poder real.
