14Should the powers of the soul be distinguished by their acts or objects?In Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 174-187. 2023.And it is argued that they should not be distinguished by their acts, because powers are principles (either active or passive) and so they are naturally prior to their acts, and things that are prior do not have their distinctness from things that are posterior.

8Utrum omnis intellectio simplex sit veraIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 822-837. 2023.Et arguitur quod non, quia si omnis conceptus simplex sit verus, sequeretur quod etiam omnis vox significativa correspondens conceptui simplici esset vera, cum non sit vera vel falsa in voce si- gnificativa vel scriptura nisi ratione verae vel falsae in mente.

19Utrum intellectus humanus sit perpetuusIn Gyula Klima, Peter G.

12Utrum in organis exterioribus sensuum subiective fiat actualis sensatio vel solum receptio specierum sensibilium et non sensatio nisi in cordeIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 610-629. 2023.Arguitur quod non fiat actualis sensatio nisi in corde su-biective quia, sicut dicitur in De sensu et sensato, Şdelata ante oculis non sentiunt qui vehementer in aliquid attendunt, ut si in aliquo terribile intendunt timentes,Ť aut in sonos delectabiles.

19Utrum sensibile positum supra sensum faciat sensationem, id est, sentiaturIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 530-547. 2023.Et arguitur primo quod sic, quia quanto agens naturale est propinquius passo, tanto magis potest in ipsum agere. Ideo sensibile immediate superpositum organo sensus magis debet in eo facere suam speciem et sensationem.

11Utrum intellectus humanus possit se intelligereIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 764-781. 2023.1. Et arguitur primo quod non, quia sensus non potest se sentire; igitur intellectus non potest se intelligere. Consequentia patet, quia sicut se habet sensus ad sensibilia, sic se habet intellectus ad intelligibilia, ut dicit Aristoteles.

16Utrum intellectus humanus sit forma inhaerens corpori humanoIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 674-689. 2023.Arguitur quod sic, etiam auctoritate Alexandri et fidei catholicae.

18Utrum tota anima sit in qualibet parte corporis animatiIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 188-217. 2023.Arguitur primo quod non quia sequeretur quod pes equi esset animal et etiam pes hominis esset homo, quod est falsum, quia non posset dici rationabiliter quod animal esset pes equi nisi esset equus, nec pes hominis nisi esset homo, et absurdum esset dicere quod pes equi sit unus equus vel pes hominis unus homo.

22Utrum oporteat intellectum esse denudatum ab eo quod ipse intelligitIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 646-657. 2023.Arguitur quod non per similem de sensu. Nam organum tactus non est sine calido et frigido, humido et sicco, quorum ipse est perceptivus, nec lingua sine sapore, nec oculus sine colore; ergo, etc.

22Does the intellect preserve intelligible species once the actual act of thinking has ceased?In Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 866-889. 2023.It is argued that it does not, because sense and intellect should be treated analogously.

17Utrum omnis anima sit actus primus corporis organiciIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 104-123. 2023.Et arguitur quod non sit actus primus, quia solus Deus est actus primus; omnia enim alia sunt ipso posteriora. Et etiam formae elementorum sunt priores naturaliter formis aliis; ideo formae mixtorum, cuiusmodi sunt animae, non sunt primi actus.
-
18Circa secundum librum de anima quaeritur primo utrum omnis anima sit actus substantialisIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 86-103. 2023.Arguitur primo quod non sit actus, quia potentia animae est anima, ut dicetur post. Sed potentia non est actus, quia dicit Aristoteles in prooemio huius quod actus et potentia differunt non parum. Et Commentator similiter dicit quod sunt differentiae oppositae.

23Utrum sensus sit virtus passivaIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 238-265. 2023.Arguitur quod non quia materiae est pati et formae est agere, agit enim agens secundum quod est in actu et patitur passum secundum quod est in potentia, ut patet tertio Physicorum et primo De generatione et ubicumque Aristoteles loquitur de ista materia; sensus autem est forma et non materia; ergo etc.

17Utrum potentiae animae sint distinctae ab ipsa animaIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 156-173. 2023.Et arguitur quod sic, quia aliter non essent distinctae ab invicem. Sed ego probo quod sint distinctae ab invicem etiam in eodem supposito, ubi tamen dictum est quod non est nisi unica anima. Et hoc probo multipliciter.

17Utrum necesse sit ad hoc quod homo intelligat concurrere active intellectum agentem, praeter intellectum possibilemIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 782-799. 2023.Et arguitur quod non, quia Şsicut sensus ad sensibilia,Ť etc. Sed non est dare sensum agentem praeter sensum possibilem, id est receptivum sensationum, cum Aristoteles eum non posuit; igitur, etc.
-
29Utrum intellectus possibilis sit pura potentia sic quod non sit aliquis actus, sicut nec materia primaIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 718-727. 2023.Arguitur quod sic, per Aristotelem dicentem quod Şnullam habet naturam, nisi quod possibilis est vocatus.Ť.

Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 908-921. 2023.Arguitur quod sic, quia sensitiva in omni actu suo indiget organo corporeo, et est extensa et divisibilis et generabilis, quia secundo huius dicit Aristoteles quod Şsensitivi prima immutatio est a generante.Ť.
-
20Utrum sit unicus intellectus quo omnes homines intelligentes intelligantIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 690-701. 2023.Arguitur quod sic per rationes Commentatoris, quarum prima est quia secundum Aristotelem intellectus est perpetuus, et nullum tale multiplicatur ad multiplicationem corruptibilium.

10Is one appetite contrary to another in a human being?In Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 922-933. 2023.I do not take ŚappetiteŠ here for the appetitive power of the soul, but for the appetitive act.

17Utrum non ens possit intelligiIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 838-853. 2023.Quia Aristoteles determinat de modo intelligendi punctum, et hoc nomen punctum videtur significare indivisibile in magnitudine et nihil est tale, prout debet videri sexto Physicorum, ideo quaeritur utrum non ens possit intelligi.

18Utrum natura faciat aliquid frustra vel etiam deficiat aliquando in necessariisIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 934-943. 2023.Arguitur quod aliquid faciat frustra, quia facit aliquando sextum digitum in manu, qui frustra est quia nullius utilitatis est. Im- mo utilius et melius esset quod essent tantum quinque.
-
18Utrum potentia motiva secundum locum sit vegetativa vel sensitiva vel intellectiva vel appetitiva vel aliqua alia potentia animae praeter istasIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 944-957. 2023.Et arguitur quod non sit vegetativa, quia tunc conveniret plantis, quod est falsum, quia semper manent in eodem loco affixis terrae, nisi per violentiam auferantur.

14Is it necessary to postulate a single common sense?In Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 548-559. 2023.We argue that it is not, neither on account of the proper sensibles nor on account of the common sensibles, since we cognize all these by the external senses.

13Utrum sensibilia communia sint per se sensibiliaIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 306-319. 2023.Arguitur quod non, quia illud non est per se sensibile quod non potest sentiri nisi per aliud vel cum alio quod sibi non determinat, immo cum quo coniungitur per accidens et contingenter. Sic autem est de sensibilibus communibus.

20Utrum intellectus prius intelligat universale quam singulare, vel e conversoIn Gyula Klima, Peter G. Sobol, Peter Hartman & Jack Zupko (eds.), John Buridan’s Questions on Aristotle’s De Anima – Iohannis Buridani Quaestiones in Aristotelis De Anima, Springer Verlag. pp. 728-763. 2023.1. Et quia praeter animam nostram, scilicet extra, non est equus universalis distinctus ab equo vel equis singulari vel singula- ribus, nec lapis universalis praeter lapides singulares, et sic de aliis, prout supponimus ex septimo Metaphysicae, ideo dicta quaestio in propriis verbis formanda est: utrum easdem res vel eandem rem intellectus intelligit prius universaliter, scilicet secundum conceptum communem, quam singulariter, id est, secundum conceptum singu- larem, vel e converso.
