This book investigates Aristotelian psychology through his works
and commentaries on them, including De Sensu, De Memoria and De
Somno et Vigilia. Authors present original research papers inviting
readers to consider the provenance of Aristotelian ideas and
interpretations of them, on topics ranging from reality to dreams
and spirituality. Aristotle's doctrine of the 'common sense', his
notion of transparency and the generation of colours are amongst
the themes explored. Chapters are presented chronologically,
enabling the reader to trace influences across the boundaries of
linguistic traditions. Commentaries from historical figures
featured in this work include those of Michael of Ephesus (c.
1120), Albert the Great and Gersonides' (1288-1344). Discoveries in
9th-century Arabic adaptations, Byzantine commentaries and
Renaissance paraphrases of Aristotle's work are also presented. The
editors' introduction outlines the main historical developments of
the themes discussed, preparing the reader for the cross-cultural
and interdisciplinary perspectives presented in this work. Scholars
of philosophy and psychology and those with an interest in
Aristotelianism will highly value the original research that is
presented in this work. The Introduction and Chapter 4 of this book
are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
