Abstract
This is a continuation of “Rational vs. Mystical Readings of Aristotle’s Nous
Poietikos. Introduction to the Subject and Overview of Central Positions” where
I gave a synopsis of the readings of nous poietikos. I ordered them by introducing
a division into “mystical” and “rational”. The mystical ones are rooted in a view
that nous poietikos does not belong to particular human beings, but is identical
with Deity/divine sphere. According to the rational readings nous poietikos is our
cognitive tool and through its activity we can learn about the Deity and emulate it.
In this paper, I aim to check which of these models is better suited for Aristotle, in
other words: would Aristotle approve of any of them? By comparing the ways of
life appointed by them I wish to put theory into practice. In order to solve a mystery
from De Anima, I refer to Nicomachean Ethics.
