Abstract

Considering sensory perception and experience as kinds of knowledge, Aristotle is more concerned with these two than his predecessors. But although some of his commentators describe him as an empiricist, it seems that it is not precise to interpret him as such. In spite of this fact, would it be true to consider him a Rationalist? And if it is so, then in what sense and to what extent is he a Rationalist? In order to answer this question, I begin by considering constituent elements of Rationalism (and those of Empiricism) that is, innate ideas and intuition, and then I proceed with discussing Aristotle’ s stance on these elements, focusing on some of his works, particularly the last chapter of Posterior Analytics. Since there are different interpretations of this chapter, I have dealt with exegeses by commentators such as Jonathan Barnes and adapted some of their views that are related to my interpretative line in this article.
