Sense Perception is the first part of the trilogy Forms of Representation in the Aristotelian Tradition. It investigates some of the most complex and intriguing aspects of theories of perception in the Greek, Latin, and Arabic reception of Aristotle’s psychology.
The trilogy Forms of Representation in the Aristotelian Tradition investigates how Aristotle and his ancient and medieval successors understood the relation between the external world and the human mind. It gives an equal footing to the three most influential linguistic traditions – Greek, Latin, and Arabic – and offers insightful interpretations of historical theories of perception, dreaming, and thinking. This first volume focuses on sense perception and discusses philosophical questions concerning the external senses, their classification, and their functioning, from Aristotle to Brentano.

Juhana Toivanen (DSocSc 2009) is an Academy Research Fellow at the University of Jyväskylä. He has published widely on medieval philosophical pscyhology and political philosophy, including monographs Perception and the Internal Senses (2013) and The Political Animal in Medieval Philosophy (2021).
