Comment on Hobbes, Aristotle And The Senses

Hobbes, Aristotle And The Senses

I wanted to highlight to particularly helpful comments from last week's reading of Leviathan. In the first chapter, Hobbes attempts to define "the senses," or the method by which humans perceive things. He seems to be in conflict with some other thinkers in his time, particularly those who still follow Aristotle. If you are look me, and have never read Aristotle, you can't really understand the beef.Fortunately Jonathan explained it for us:Aristotle, like Hobbes, did think that knowledge came from the senses, but he had a very different view of how senses worked.
