Aristotle wrote several treatises on animals but none specifically on the human being. Our aim is to reconstruct Aristotle's anthropological thought from his assertion that man is the most natural of all animals and from the wide range of values that the term ʽnatureʼ has in his work. In short, it is about to elucidate whether the intelligence is also found in animals or only in humans, and whether the difference between both, humans and animals, is a question of degree or a question of essence. Also we analyze the implications of the expression intellectus ex foris, and if Aristotle, who defended the eternity of the world and man, was eventually an advocate of the immortality of the soul, as Thomas believed, or rather was a supporter of the mortality thesis, as other exegetes argued.
Aristóteles escribió varios tratados sobre los animales pero ninguno específico sobre el hombre. Nuestro propósito es reconstruir el pensamiento antropológico aristotélico a partir de su afirmación de que el hombre es el más natural de todos los animales y el significado polivalente que el término naturaleza tiene en su obra. Se trata, en suma, de dilucidar si la inteligencia se da también en los animales o sólo en el hombre y si la diferencia entre ambos es de grado o de esencia. Así mismo analizamos las implicaciones de la expresión intellectus ex foris, y si Aristóteles, defensor de la eternidad del mundo y del hombre, fue defensor de la inmortalidad del alma, como cree Santo Tomás, o si, por el contrario, fue partidario de la tesis mortalista, como sostienen otros exégetas.
