On Sense And The Sensible - Hardcover

by Aristotle (Author)

On Sense And The Sensible is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. The book is a part of his larger work on natural philosophy and explores the nature of sense perception and the objects of perception. Aristotle examines the five senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell, and discusses how they function in relation to the external world. He also considers the role of the imagination and memory in sense perception. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the nature of sense perception and the second part focuses on the objects of perception. Throughout the book, Aristotle argues that sense perception is a fundamental aspect of human experience and plays a crucial role in our understanding of the world around us. On Sense And The Sensible is a significant work in the history of philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.But there are, besides these, certain other attributes, of which some are common to all living things, while others are peculiar to certain species of animals. The most important of these may be summed up in four pairs, viz. waking and sleeping, youth and old age, inhalation and exhalation, life and death. We must endeavour to arrive at a scientific conception of these, determining their respective natures, and the causes of their occurrence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
