In keeping with the order found in traditional catalogues of
Aristotle's works, Thomas Aquinas began his series of Aristotelian
commentaries with a commentary on "On the Soul," which he followed
with commentaries on "On Sense and What Is Sensed" and "On Memory
and Recollection," written in 1268-70. Until now, these latter two
commentaries have never been published in English translation. The
translations presented in this volume are based on the critical
Leonine edition of the commentaries and include English
translations of the Aristotelian texts on which Aquinas commented.
The translations of both commentaries are furnished with
introductions and notes by the translators. Thomas's commentary on
"On Sense and What Is Sensed" clarifies and develops Aristotle's
discussion of sense-powers, his "application" of sensepowers to
organs and objects, and his concluding questions concerning the
object and medium of sensation, and the role of the "common sense."
In "digressions" from his literal exposition, Aquinas presents
discussions bearing on psychology, epistemology, natural
philosophy, and metaphysics. The first three chapters of the
commentary on "On Memory and Recollection" deal with memory and
address three questions: "What is memory?" "To what part of the
soul does memory belong?" and "What is the cause of remembering?"
The last eight chapters, which deal with recollection, also address
three questions: "What is recollection?" "How does recollecting
take place?" and "What is the difference between memory and
recollection?" In "digressions," Aquinas explores more fully the
issues arising from the exposition of the text.
