What is Mind? What is intelligence? What is the difference and relationship between these concepts? These universal questions about the mind and intelligence that determine the quality of man are important in the context of the historical evolution of the mind. The objective of this study is to identify the differences, similarities, uses and the possible philosophical consequences that both concepts, depending on this use, will produce from the point of view of human ethics, in particular by addressing the essence of the concepts of mind and intelligence on the basis of Aristotle and Descartes. The word logos, which is an important concept in the early philosophy, was founded by Aristotle in all its dimensions in the context of mind-body unity. However, with the distinction of mind and body from root by Descartes, who revealed the principles of modern philosophy, a new understanding of intelligence emerged. Cartezyen consciousness is the most important element of this understanding, and it is the most important element of this understanding. When considering historical and philosophical developments from Aristotle to Descartes, mind and intelligence can be compared to the edges of a triangle. When the mind forms the broad base of the triangle, the shrinking part is wisdom. The broad base of the triangle represents the immense meaning that the mind has, while the wisdom that rises from the moisturizes shrinks the meaning of the mind and rises to the task of taking over it. Depending on its rise, it creates a sharp, more brighter and thinner corner. In this regard, the prior condition for the ability to reveal human qualities is not the intelligence of Carthage, but the Aristotle's concept of mind.

What is Mind? What is intelligence? What are the distinction and relationship between these concepts? These universal questions about the mind and intelligence that determine human wholeness are important in the context of the historical evolution of the mind. Concerning these questions, the aim of this study is to reveal the differences, similarities, domains of use and the possible philosophical consequences of both concepts regarding human ethics especially through perspectives of Aristotle and Descartes. The word mind (logos), which is an important concept in ancient philosophy, had been grounded with all dimensions by Aristotle's mind-body unity. However, a new understanding of intelligence which reveals the principles of modern philosophy has emerged with Descartes. Degrading "mind" into "intelligence" is the most important outcome of Cartesian understanding. From Aristotle to Descartes, when historical and philosophical improvements are considered, mind and intelligence can be compared to the edges of a triangle. Mind constitutes the broad base of the triangle, while the narrowing top part refers to intelligence. While the wide base of the triangle represents the vast meaning of mind, the spiring intelligence both narrows the meaning of mind and rises up to take over the role of mind. Due to its elevation, it creates a sharper, more pointed and narrower angle. Considering this aspect, the prerequisite of revealing human qualities is not the Cartesian intelligence, but the Aristotelian mind.
