Monographs and Articles on the Cogitative

  • George KlubertanzVis Cogitativa, According to St. Thomas Aquinas: Sources and Doctrine (1947).  {n.b. This is a rather cumbersome file to view; for those interested, I might know someone who has a better digital file of this work.}
  • There is an interesting article by Bill Zander comparing a number of Bernard Lonergan’s comments on the cogitative power.
  • Deborah Black has a number of articles available on her website.  She has done some excellent work on the inner senses in the Medieval Arabic and Latin traditions, especially Avicenna, Averroes, and Aquinas.  Her paper, “Estimation and Imagination: Western Divergences from an Arabic Paradigm.” Topoi 19 (2000): 59–75. is especially helpful.
