摘要：There is no doubt that Alexander of Afrodisias addressed issues related to the Intellectu in habitu in texts De Anima and De Intellectu. In the former, the Intellectu in habitu is presented as a mere recipient of concepts gathered by the potential intellect. In this way, the Intellectu in habitu is unable to perform abstract thinking. In the latter, the Intellectu in habitu is presented as a fully developed faculty capable of abstract thinking. This ability is given by the third intellect, called divine intellect. This article favors the interpretation proposed by De Intellectu. It is apposite to say that the Intellectu in habitu is capable of thinking because it, on the one hand, receives, the content provided by the potential intellect, and, on the other hand, receives the forms of intelligibility provided the divine intellect.
