Aristotle's investigation of the soul in the De Anima challenges his understanding of nature and the natural, complicating his distinctions between naturalistic and logical methodologies, between perceptible and intelligible, and between physics and metaphysics. At the heart of each of these distinctions is his understanding of phantasia. By attending in the De Anima to what Aristotle says about the imagination, but also to how he uses imagination, this project aspires to sketch out a naturalistic account of phantasia. It takes seriously Aristotle's suggestion that phantasia is some sort of motion and discloses a unified image of Aristotelian phantasia as the kinesis by which the intelligible comes to be. Phantasia is the motion by which the entelecheiae of the extended magnitudes of the perceptible realm come to be the analogical 'perceptible things,' the phantasmata, of the intelligible realm. This understanding not only attempts to account for phantasia's seemingly contradictory appearances within the De Anima, but, by means of a metaphoric extension, also considers phantasia's roles in the Rhetoric, the Poetics, and the De Memoria. Here, the "metaphoric phantasia " of DA III.3 428a is found to be the motion by which the intelligible is "brought before the eyes" and made clear and distinct. It is the motion by which the intelligible becomes perceptible, and is thus the motion by which metaphors themselves come to be. And insofar as such "bringing before the eyes" relies on one's ability to present the entelecheia of a given thought, metaphoric phantasia can also be uncovered as the motion by which apophantical naming itself occurs. "Metaphoric phantasia" thus makes room for a creative, poetic imagination within Aristotle's thought, and its link to phantasia per se means that a physics of phantasia is also a physics of language, is an account of how a thing gets to be said as what it is. Phantasia, metaphoric and otherwise, can thus be seen to account for the birth of nameless things.
