Alberto Magno sobre imaginación y fantasía

Abstract

The present article presents a Spanish translation of Albert the Great's theory of imagination (imagination) and fantasy (phantasia). The corresponding text is derived from his commentary on De Anima book III treatise 1 chapters 1-3. According to Albert, the imagination accomplishes the second of four phases of abstraction by abstracting from the presence of the object perceived, whereas the fantasy's proper function consists in grasping the sensible object under its intentional aspects.
