Abstract: The second part of the publication, which has been started in the previous issue of the journal, presents the translation of the fi nal fragment of the commentary of the prominent Arab- Muslim philosopher Ibn Rushd (Averroes, d. 1198) made by him to the fi fth chapter of the third book of the Aristotelian treatise “On the Soul”. The incorruptibility in this chapter, which traditionally is attributed exclusively to the active intellect, was interpreted by Ibn Rushd as primarily characterizing the material intellect. Affi rming the immanence of the active intellect, the Commentator emphasizes its status as a form for material intellect and points out to its aff ability on the part of the intentions of the imaginative forms. Here the author also substantiates the Aristotle’s thesis concerning the cessation of remembrance after the separation of the soul from the body.
