Descrizione	Addresses fundamental questions for our philosophical understanding of perception in the context of Aristotle's account and offers explanations of Aristotle's solutions Identifies Aristotle's metaphysical innovations and the way he used them towards resolving challenges that he was first to recognize for the explanation of perceptual awareness Discusses Aristotle's theory of perception in a way that makes it possible for non-specialists with an interest in perception to follow the problems Aristotle investigated and the solutions he offeredHow can we explain the structure of perceptual experience? What is it that we perceive? How is it that we perceive objects and not disjoint arrays of properties? By which sense or senses do we perceive objects? Are our five senses sufficient for the perception of objects? Aristotle investigated these questions by means of the metaphysical modeling of the unity of the perceptual faculty and the unity of experiential content. His account remains fruitful-but also challenging-even for contemporary philosophy. This book offers a reconstruction of the six metaphysical models Aristotle offered to address these and related questions, focusing on their metaphysical underpinning in his theory of causal powers. By doing so, the book brings out what is especially valuable and even surprising about the topic: the core principles of Aristotle's metaphysics of perception are fundamentally different from those of his metaphysics of substance. Yet, for precisely this reason, his models of perceptual content are unexplored territory. This book breaks new ground in offering an understanding of Aristotle's metaphysics of the content of perceptual experience and of the composition of the perceptual faculty.Readership: Researchers, teachers and postgraduate students with specialization in philosophy, and also in classics. The primary audience will be those who work in ancient philosophy of mind/perception and in metaphysics/philosophy of science. It will also be of relevance to researchers, teachers and postgraduate students working in contemporary philosophy of mind, the history of the philosophy of mind, the history of the psychology of perception, and metaphysics/philosophy of science, The book will also be useful to undergraduate students in philosophy and classics as a secondary reading, for example as part of survey courses on perception, survey courses on Aristotle, a specific course on Aristotle's psychology, a specific course on Aristotle's metaphysics etc.
