Resumo Inglês:

In the three books of the De Anima Aristotle ranges over a diverse
array of philosophical and scientific topics, such as the nature of life, selfmovement,
the senses, perception, imagination, thought, and the relation
between mind and body. As a result, this work may seem to be a strange collection
of only marginally related philosophical and biological topics given
our modern sensibilities. Nonetheless it is united by Aristotle's basic concern
for the nature and functioning of life in all its diverse forms. This inquiry offers
modern readers significant insight into contemporary debates in the
philosophy of mind.
