This book is the first detailed study of Aristotle's theory of the sense-organs. It looks at all of the five sense-organs and shows how Aristotle's views about them follow from his views about their function in perception. The book also shows how Aristotle's explanation of why we have sense-organs is fundamentally different from that of modern science. The book should appeal to readers specifically interested in Aristotle's philosophy of mind and biology as well as to those generally interested in sense-perception.Johansen, T. K. is the author of 'Aristotle on the Sense-Organs', published 2007 under ISBN 9780521714730 and ISBN 0521714737.
