Descrizione

The following article constitutes Part One one of a two-part inquiry into Thomas Aquinas’s theory of time perception, developed in his Aristotelian commentaries. It includes the introduction and first section, dealing with the principles of Thomas’s account, established in his discussion of the relation between time and motion in his commentary on Physics IV, c. 10-14. Part Two then deals with the psychology of time perception, divided into two sections. The first provides a detailed analysis of the roles of the common and proper senses, imagination or phantasia, and sense-consciousness in Thomas’s commentaries on the De sensu et sensato and De memoria et reminiscentia, arguing for a dynamic and multi-layered conception of phantasms. The second and final section then provides an illustration of Thomas’s theory of time perception by applying it to the analysis of three temporal phenomena: linguistic utterances, musical intervals, and sensible motions.
