>>13874253Here is a copy paste from a blog, you can ask me any question about it:
Aristotelians distinguish the faculties ofsensation,imagination, andintellect.
>IntellectIs what you deploy when you grasp the concept of a man, when you put this concept together with others to form a judgment (such as the judgment thatall men are mortal), and when you reason from one judgment to another in a logical way (as when you thinkall men are mortal, so the man I met today is mortal). Concepts, and the acts of judgment and reasoning that presuppose them, are irreducible to what sensation and imagination are capable of, for reasons I’ve set out many times (e.g. brieflyhere, and at systematic lengthhere). Concepts have a universal reference that no percept or image can have; they can be determinate, precise, or unambiguous in their content in a way no percept or image can be; and we can form concepts of things which can in no way be perceived or imagined. Like sensation, intellect is objective, but in a different way. Sensation reveals to us onlyparticularthings that exist independently of our minds. The intellect grasps natures that areuniversal, existing not only in the particular things we perceive but in things we have not perceived and never could perceive.
