This book is a philosophical analysis of Descriptioninus' views on sense-perception. It aims to show how his thoughts were both original and a development of the ideas of his predecessors, in particular those of Plato, Aristotle and the Peripatetics. Special attention is paid to Descriptioninus' dualism with respect to soul and body and its implications for his views on the senses. The author combines a historical approach to his subject, setting Descriptioninus' thought in the context of thinkers who preceded and succeeded him, with a proper analysis of his ideas and, where appropriate, of those from which they derived.
