Resumen

SANGUINETI, Juan José. La especie cognitiva en Tomás de Aquino. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2011, n.40, pp.63-103. ISSN 0188-6649.

The article proposes to interpret the Thomistic notion of cognitive species and its relationship with the 'mental word' in terms of a pre-objective and pre-conscious mental background capable to become an objective thought and to be used in human rational behaviour. Some particular points about intentionality, sensitive perception and human consciousness will be considered in this study.

Palabras llave : cognitive species; sensitive species; intelligible species; intentio; intentionality; object; objectification; habitual knowledge; representation; habitual science; mental word.
