For this reason, some commentators on the Nicomachean Ethics believe that it is necessary to determine the structure of the human soul as a moral agent. Thus, in several places, especially interpreting the first chapters of Book III, they outline a structure of the soul with the help of their interpretation of the Aristotelian psychology. In this paper, we examine the structure presented by the anonymous De anima et potentiis eius and two commentaries on the NE including similar frameworks. There we have identified two senses of will (voluntas). One sense suggests that the will is a faculty of the soul, though not in a very determined way as in posterior texts. The other sense is a desire or a willing, which is the traditional meaning of voluntas. We think that the definitive determination of the first sense of will appears when a specific term for the second sense is created, which will happen in the next generation. La recepción de la obra aristotélica entre los maestros de artes de la Universidad de París tiene desde un principio la necesidad de establecer coherencia entre las obras del Estagirita. Por esta razón, los comentadores de la Ética Nicomáquea estiman necesario determinar la estructura del alma que se constituye en agente moral. Es por esto que en varios lugares y, sobre todo, en la interpretación de los primeros capítulos del libro tercero bosquejan una organización del alma con la ayuda de las primeras interpretaciones existentes de la psicología aristotélica. Aquí estudiamos la estructura del alma tal como la presenta el De anima et de potentiis eius y dos comentarios a la EN que incluyen disposiciones similares. En ellas discernimos dos sentidos de voluntad. Uno de ellos sugiere que la voluntad constituye una facultad del alma, aunque no de manera muy definida como en textos posteriores. Otra acepción es la tradicional, la de voluntad como deseo o querer. Creemos que la determinación definitiva del primer sentido de voluntad es cuando se acuña un término específico para el segundo, lo que ocurrirá en la generación posterior a estos maestros.
