“…Homer linguistically shifts the meaning of a term to account for the mind‘s insight into a truth in order to account for his particular view of an instance within the phenomenal world. By the time of Aristotle's De Anima , nous has come to mean the power of understanding and the verb noein means the activity of understanding (Cohoe, 2022).…”

PurposeThis piece explores the philosophical origins of sense-making as defined in Brenda Dervin’s methodology.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper locates the origins of sense-making's rich ontological, epistemological and etymological heritage to the Classical Greece and the Pre-Socratic period. The Greek origins of sense-making‘s philosophical undercurrents surface again in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit before the idea is picked up again in twentieth century philosophy and library science.FindingsThis is a conceptual paper and no empirical findings are presented.Originality/valueThis paper makes an original contribution to the study of information seeking and to sense making theory and methodology.

The History of Hylomorphism

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Averroes (Ibn Rushd) is the most important medieval commentator on Aristotle, but he holds a thoroughly unique position on intellect and hylomorphism. This chapter lays out the contours of his view, noting both its liabilities and strengths, especially in light of renewed interest in hylomorphism. Averroes builds on a liberal hylomorphism common to all hylomorphic accounts of cognition, and he properly distinguishes human beings (treated in broadly naturalist terms) from intellect (conceived in far more transcendent terms, i.e. as two completely separate substances). I argue that the result is still genuine––albeit liberal––hylomorphism, not collapsing into Cartesian substance dualism. This view is worth considering since it conserves important hylomorphic desiderata while taking seriously the perennial problem of intellect.
