Abstract
We focus on the importance of the condition (páthema) in the process of knowledge. The condition is generated by the contact between a generated body that exerts an action (poieîn) and a human body that suffers this action (páskhein). The condition causes a dynamic reaction from the soul of the man, through which the intelligence, that is to say, the noûs, performs the circular movement by which the sensible world comes to know.
