ABSTRACT
In recent studies on late thirteenth-century philosophy, James of Douai has been depicted as an Averroist,1 who, aer the condemnation of , strongly advocated a philosophical way of life.2Martin Grabmann, however, argued that James was inuenced by omas Aquinas and criticized Averroism.3 Yet, no one has undertaken a thorough investigation of his philosophy of mind.4 In this chapter, I hope to show that James was neither aomist nor an Averroist. In order tomake this clear, I shall focus on some selected questions. First, however, I shall give a brief general presentation of James’s Quaestiones super libro De anima.
