Descripción
Sumario:Anaxagoras’ “nous” has a cosmological value.  Additionally, it has inspired interesting reflections in order to understand metaphysically the intellect.  The question we want to answer is twofold.  On one hand, we will inquire whether or not Anaxagoras has understood correctly the nature of the intellect.  On the other hand, we will discern if our author has understood the peculiarity of consciousness.  The answer to these questions will probably be negative.  Notwithstanding that, it will be possible to ask whether or not Anaxagoras was able to detect at least the basic elements for a metaphysics of the intellect and, consequently, for an ontology of consciousness.
