On Sense And The Sensible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162677439)

On Sense And The Sensible is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. The book explores the nature of perception, sensation, and the relationship between the senses and the external world. Aristotle argues that the senses are the means by which we acquire knowledge about the world, and that they are intimately connected to our understanding of reality. He also discusses the different types of senses, such as sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell, and their respective functions. Additionally, the book delves into the nature of sensation itself, examining how our senses are able to detect and process stimuli from the environment. Overall, On Sense And The Sensible is a foundational work in the field of epistemology, and offers a fascinating insight into Aristotle's views on the nature of perception and knowledge.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
