Abstract
the claim that aisthesis is like a certain mesotes may be Aristotle‟s description of the physiological aspect of perception. Such description has been left dormant and ne-glected for centuries. Its re-discovery can supply a much needed widening of the textual basis on 21 which the controversy between Literalists, Spiritualists and Structuralists has been recently ground-ed, together with some fresh hope to advance our understanding of what happens, in Aristotle‟s mind, as I perceive the white screen in front of me and the hard and smooth keys I am typing on.File in questo prodotto:
