Abstract

This paper is a comparative and systematical exposition of the Averroes and Thomas Aquinas' commentaries to the principal Aristotelian texts about the nature concept. It shows that there is a basic coincidence in the interpretation of Aristotle, but there are some nuances, even important, that separate both interpretations. The conclusion to which the analysis of the comentaries leads is that the own nature definition is foun in "Physics", II, 1 and it is substantially identical to the one which appears in third place in "Metaphysics", V, 4. The indicated definition competes primarily to the form: nature is the form. As the matter is "passive" operations principle, it is also nature. According to this, the things and the actions are not nature, but by nature: however, as the substances are term of a natural process can be called nature. In teh both commentator texts do not appear the nature concept as the set of the natural beings.
