Intellectus und Imaginatio
Aspekte geistiger und sinnlicher Erkenntnis bei Nicolaus Cusanus
This book represents a contribution to the understanding of both intellectual and sensible cognition in Nicolaus Cusanus. Central to this account are the concepts of intellectus and imaginatio , their historical and factual connection and their relationship to other aspects of human cognition. In this way the unity and totality of this cognition is explored and discussed. In particular, points of comparison are outlined between William of Ockham, John Buridan and Cusanus in regard to the conceptus absolutus. Moreover, various issues are explored in light of these points of comparison. Among them are the contemplative intellect, the metaphors of the “wall of the Paradise” and of visio, a cartography of cognition, the Cusan philosophy of symbols, creativity, music and two examples of the function and the importance of imaginatio. The contributions to this book come from well-known interpreters of Cusanus and also younger scholars. In this way, this book offers both new perspectives on fruitful discussions of the thinking of Cusanus as well as evidence of the vivacity and original character of this discussion.
