Abstract

Santo Tomás de Aquino explica cómo es que ciertos animales parecen poseer prudencia en algún grado, de acuerdo con Aristóteles, gracias a la memoria que ellos tienen, pues ésta les permite considerar los hechos pasados además de los presentes. Así, De Memoria et Reminiscentia trata sobre la memoria, que es común al hombre y a los animales perfectos, y la reminiscencia, que es propia del hombre.
