Abstract

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.
