Koncepcja Pierwszego Poruszyciela i problem jego boskości w filozofii Arystotelesa

Abstract

The author in detail shows all metaphysical arguments of the Aristotle justifying the being and the nature of the absolute being and is asking a questions - whether any relation can take place between Aristotelian First Principle and the man? Can he become a god and an object of the worship for the man? In the metaphysical description of world made by the Aristotle the given being is happy when is carrying his nature out. In this way he can only attain happiness. And so, all the limitations of nature, are simultaneously happiness restrictions. For rational beings all forms of the intellectual activity are the most unabridged expression of the nature. The absolute is conducting life of the thought in the most excellent form, therefore is the happiest one. People get close to this ideal in as much as develop this divine ability in themselves. Even though First Principle lives completely separated from world, however the man has one key shared feature - mind. The Aristotle thinks that it is divine root and it is that what make us truly people. It is the mind that lets us lead the life similar to the being.
