SOBRE A PERCEPÇÃO EM PLOTINO

ABSTRACT

Sensible perception is the cognitive faculty of the soul that receives, through sensorial organs, a set of characteristics of the objects, such as height, width, color, odor, sound, and also that which can affect us as, for instance, the pain that arises from being burnt or the pleasure caused by a melody. Understanding the perceptive process in relation with its different kinds of objects - affections, qualities, and impressions - is the aim of this study.
