Daniel Heider, Lukáš Lička, Marek Otisk (eds. ): Perception in Scholastics and Their Interlocutors

Special Issue of The Philosophical Journal 2017/2, 160 pages

Perception Obalka

The Special Issue Perception in Scholastics and Their Interlocutors presents eight studies examining the issues of perception and senses in the history of philosophy between the 11^th and 17^th centuries. Attention is focused mainly on scholastic thinkers (from Anselm, through Peter John Olivi and Duns Scotus, to Suárez), some older authors whose thoughts developed other scholars (e.g. Aristotle or Ibn al-Haytham), or contemporaries who entered into dialogue with scholastics (e.g. Pletho or Valerianus Magnus).
