Razón practica e intelecto agente en Alfarabi

Abstract

In this article I seek to show how, for Alfarabi, the agent intellect is not only giver of cognitive forms for the theoretical reason, but rather it also endow to the practical reason with "voluntary intelligibles". Later, the first practical principles can be used as foundation in order to construct the ethics as demonstrative science.
