Intento mostrar, a través de ellos, que para Aristóteles podemos ser capaces de llevar a cabo una acción que resulta ser imposible en una situación dada. Esta tesis complementa otra igualmente importante, según la cual puede ser posible que realicemos una acción que, sin embargo, somos incapaces de realizar. Ambas tesis revelan que para Aristóteles los conceptos de capacidad y posibilidad en los primeros cinco capítulos de Metafísica &#920; son independientes entre sí. Pero si bien la segunda tesis ha sido objeto de estudio en el reciente comentario de Stephen Makin al libro &#920;, la primera tesis no ha recibido toda la atención que merece.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: In this paper, I examine two closely related passages from the first half of Aristotle&#8217;s Metaphysics &#920; (1047a24-29 and 1048a11-16) and seek to demonstrate through them that, according to him, we may have the capacity for doing an action that happens to be impossible in a given situation. This thesis complements another equally important thesis, namely, that it may be possible for us to do an action that we are incapable of doing. The two theses evince that for Aristotle the concepts of capacity and possibility in the first five chapters of Metaphysics &#920; are independent from each other. But although the latter thesis has been studied in some detail by Stephen Makin in his recent commentary on &#920;, the former thesis has not received all the attention it deserves.]]></p></abstract>
