ARISTOTLE, <i>DE ANIMA</i> 3.7 (431A4–7)

Abstract This note addresses a grammatical objection, first raised by Torstrik, to the transmitted text of Aristotle’s De anima 3.7, namely that the text contains at 431a4–7 a μέν without a corresponding δέ (or another adversative particle). Rejecting Corcilius’s suggestion that this is a μέν solitarium , the note shows that modest repunctuation reveals a responding δέ and makes better sense of this part of the text.
