englischPlato's and Aristotle's theories of vision have often been read within the dichotomy of passive receiving vs. active constructing. In giving detailed readings of the relevant passages, the study shows how not only this dichotomy is untenable, but also unfolds a critique of representationalist theories of perception. While Plato is interested in visual perception mainly in the context of his epistemology, Aristotle is concerned with a typology of different perceptions and giving a theory of perception in his thinking of the middle. The study draws on the author's work in the philosophy of language and text theory for the favoured interpretation.
