Philosophical Problems in Sense Perception: Testing the Limits of Aristotelianism, 1st ed. 2020 Studies in the History of Philosophy of Mind Series, Vol. 26

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Bennett David, Toivanen Juhana

Couverture de l’ouvrage Philosophical Problems in Sense Perception: Testing the Limits of Aristotelianism
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.

David Bennett was a Research Associate in Representation and Reality research programme at the University of Gothenburg. He specialises in the philosophical and theological controversies of the 9th-10th century Islamicate world, particularly the early development of Muʿtazilite thought. He has written on pre-Avicennan accounts of sense perception, veridical dreams, and conceptualization, and he is currently working on a monograph about atoms.

Juhana Toivanen is an Academy Research Fellow at the University of Jyväskylä, and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg. He has published widely on medieval philosophy of mind, including a monograph Perception and the Internal Senses (Brill 2013).
