Aristotle on Perception

Zusatztext E's discussion is philosophically refined: and his reader is expected to have a nodding acquantaince with various notions in contemporary philosophical psychology ... The book is good enough to deserve detailed criticism. Indeed! I am not sure that I have read a better book on Aristotle's psychology. I enjoyed it! and I learned from it. It is rare that such things can be said about a book on ancient philosophy. Informationen zum Autor Stephen Everson is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He taught philosophy previously at Oxford (St Hugh's, Balliol, and Lincoln Colleges) and at Cambridge (Trinity College). He is the editor of three Companions to Ancient Thought, published by Cambridge University Press: Epistemology (1990),Psychology (1991), and Language (1994). Zusammenfassung Stephen Everson presents a comprehensive new study of Aristotle's account of perception, which he places in the context of Aristotle's natural philosophy as a whole. This account is Aristotle's most sustained and detailed attempt to describe and explain the behaviour of living things, and is the focus of current debate about his theory of mind.
