Perception, Determination and Negation. Aristotle and the Noetic Presuppositions of Perceptual Consciousness
Abstract
This article explores Aristotle’s conception of perception and its connection with the intellect. It analyzes the distinction between proper and common sensibles, focusing on number, which is perceived through the negation of the continuous or through sensible qualities. It is argued that certain forms of perceptual consciousness presuppose active noetic interventions that determine limits, enriching perception without turning it into pure thought. Parallels are drawn with time, as the number of motion, and infinity, introducing the notion of «noetically enriched perception» and with reference to triangular structures of actualization which reveal the co-belonging of soul and world.
