Sumario:Albert the Great (1193/1206-1280) developed in his De homine (ca. 1246) an interpretation of what has been called the psychological process of action. This series of psychological stages that give rise to human action are taken from a passage in the De fide orthodoxa by John of Damascus, and are used by the authors of the time to explain and understand Book III of Aristotle's Ethica Nicomachea. In order to explain this process, it is also necessary to clarify the driving forces of the human being as Albertus conceived them: the practical intellect, the will, and free will.
