English summary: Ibn Rushd, also known as Averroes, was one of the most important figures in the transmission of Greco-Arabic thought to the Latin West during the Middle Ages. His work was, however, also the source of heretical theories that troubled the European scholastic and religious establishment, which is the subject of this book. French description: De son vrai nom Abu l-Walid Muhammad ibn Ahmad Ibn Rusd, Averroes (1126, Cordoue - 1198, Marrakech) est le personnage de plusieurs histoires: medecin, juriste, cadi, philosophe et commentateur d'Aristote, il est a la fois l'heritier des grandes figures de la pensee greco-arabe, puis par la traduction, la diffusion et l'usage de ses oeuvres, l'une des sources majeures des cultures medievales juives et latines. Mais de ce maitre, la scolastique fit aussi un scandale. Pour des siecles, en Europe, Averroes sera le pere insense d'une theorie degradante et antireligieuse sur l'homme. Le livre parle de cela.

In the 13th, century many of the Latin doctrines of the soul, intellect and perception were heavily influenced by Arabic sources, Avicenna and Averroes being the most significant ones. Their reading of Aristotle's De anima stresses either a more or less Neoplatonic conceptual framework or a return to the purported Peripatetic roots. This volume deals with the generation and transmission of the Aristotelian science of the soul from Arabic into Latin and, incidentally, into Hebrew. It becomes clear that Latin discussions, such as in Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas or Roger Bacon and John Duns Scotus, should be thought of as the result of the either affirmative incorporation and transformation of the Arabic-Aristotelian tradition or its rejection. The articles gathered in this volume showcase various facets of the Arabic and Latin philosophical psychology ranging from the Avicennian theories of vision, cogitation and musical awareness to Averroes's relevance for a proper understanding of Aquinas's early theory of the intellect as well as the structure of animal knowledge according to Albert the Great and Roger Bacon. Even though rooted in different theological and philosophical traditions, it is clear that the Arabic and Latin theories of the soul use a common Aristotelian language.

Les questions 75 et 76 de la Somme de théologie (première partie) rassemblent l'essentiel de la conception de Thomas d'Aquin (m. 1274) sur l'essence de l'âme humaine et son rapport au corps. Ce texte majeur de l'histoire de la pensée est aux croisements de la philosophie et de la théologie et constitue l'aboutissement d'une longue élaboration de sa doctrine, où Aristote et la Bible sont censés se rejoindre. D'un côté, Thomas d'Aquin veut établir l'unité ontologique du composé corruptible qu'est la personne humaine. De l'autre, il doit sauver l'immortalité de l'âme. La solution réside dans la notion-clé de l'anthropologie thomasienne : celle de l'âme comme forme à la fois substantielle et subsistante. Etait-ce cohérent d'un point de vue théorique? Etait-ce conceptuellement tenable? Voilà l'enjeu.

This book is an essay - with an annotated translation - about the psychology of Averroes, Aristotle's Commentator, and its influence in Latin philosophy. It specifically addresses his famous doctrine of the intellect, long deemed scandalous, and its critical defence by one of his epigones, the English XIVth century theologian Thomas Wylton, also descended from the great scholastics Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus. On new textual bases, the author tackles some of the main noetic questions of Greco-Arabic peripateticism: the relation between soul and body, the status of imagination, the nature of the intellect's power, the autonomy of the thinker, or the theoretical accomplishment of the individual as conjunction with the "agent" intellect. The author argues that Wylton's averroism is a conceptually consistent exegesis, an indiosynchratic combination of various elements found in Ibn Rushd's system, while also, against a depreciatory tradition, contextualizing Averroes and his doctrine in relation to the active field of modern philosophy, within an identical rationality.
