Abstract
Martin Pickavé delves into the intricacies of Henry’s theory of intelligible species, one of the centerpieces of Aquinas’s theory of intellectual operations. Henry firmly denies that species are “impressed” in the intellect because in this way a species would be in the mind “as in a subject,” which cannot be the case for two main reasons. First, an “impressed species” would cause a natural change of its subject, but the intellect does not undergo this kind of real change when it understands. Second, the “impressed species” would be individualized by its subject, whence it would not be cognizable by the intellect, because the intellect is directed only toward something universal. Therefore, Henry concludes, a species can only exist in the intellect “as in a cognizer.” To deny this means to have a wrong conception of the nature of the intellect. Thus, Henry draws a clear distinction between categorial being that things have outside the mind and mental being, the being of mental objects in the intellect. Therefore, his teaching plays an important role in the development of the theory of esse obiectivum that proved to be so important for fourteenth-century philosophers.
