Estimative Power as a Social Sense

Estimative Power as a Social Sense

The Internal Senses in the Aristotelian Tradition, 2020
Juhana Toivanen
Abstract
The estimative power has been widely discussed in modern scholarly literature. This chapter complements the existing picture by analysing medieval Latin views concerning its role as the explanans of the social behaviour of humans and other animals. Although medieval authors rarely focus on this function, the chapter shows that the estimative power plays an important explanatory role both in philosophical psychology and political philosophy.
