Reiteration in Sensibility According to Aristotle Perception and Phantasia

This paper explores the role of perceptual reiteration in the formation of experience according to Aristotle’s psychology and epistemology. Beginning with an analysis of sense perception ( aisthesis ), it examines the retention of perceptual traces ( phantasia ) and their reiteration in experience ( empeiria ). This ultimately establishes the fundamental role of sense perception in grounding our epistemic and practical relationship to reality, revealing a novel perspective on how reiteration shapes the behaviour of both humans and non-humans.
