This volume focuses on philosophical problems concerning sense
perception in the history of philosophy. It consists of thirteen
essays that analyse the philosophical tradition originating in
Aristotle's writings. Each essay tackles a particular problem that
tests the limits of Aristotle's theory of perception and develops
it in new directions. The problems discussed range from
simultaneous perception to causality in perception, from the
representational nature of sense-objects to the role of conscious
attention, and from the physical/mental divide to perception as
quasi-rational judgement. The volume gives an equal footing to
Greek, Arabic, and Latin philosophical traditions. It makes a
substantial contribution not just to the study of the Aristotelian
analysis of sense perception, but to its reception in the
commentary tradition and beyond. Thus, the papers address
developments in Alexander of Aphrodisias, Themistius, Avicenna,
John of Jandun, Nicole Oresme, and Sayf al-Din al-Amidi, among
others. The result of this is a coherent collection that attacks a
well-defined topic from a wide range of perspectives and across
philosophical traditions.
