Pavel Gregoric

Aristotle on the Common Sense

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Pavel Gregoric presents a detailed investigation into the Aristotelian concept of the common sense, which explains complex perceptual operations that cannot be explained in terms of the five senses taken individually. Such operations include perceiving that the same object is white and sweet, or knowing that one's senses are inactive.
