CARBONELL, CLAUDIA. Phantasía logistikē in the Configuration of Desire in Aristotle. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.152, pp.133-158. ISSN 0120-0062.

ABSTRACT In De Anima III 10, Aristotle introduces the notion of phantasía logistikē as one of the principles of rational action. On the basis of some texts from De Anima and the Nicomachean Ethics, the paper seeks to interpret the place of that type of imagination in practical reasoning. To that effect, it first sets forth Aristotle's doctrine regarding the principles of action and the issue of their articulation, and then goes on to discuss the role of rational imagination in the configuration of the object of desire.

Palabras clave : Aristotle; De Anima; desire; Nicomachean Ethics; fantasy.
