Abstract
Background and Aim: One of the most important philosophical issues from ancient times to the present has been the issue of the senses. Ancient Greek philosophers, especially Plato and Aristotle, spoke extensively about the senses. In two Thesis Aristotle has explained the outward and inward perception of knowledge about the soul and the senses and the senses. Aristotle believes in the knowledge of the data of the apparent powers of the soul (sense of touch, sight, taste, hearing and taste) and it requires the coordination of sensory perception with reason. Among the perceptual powers of the soul, the common sense has a special status to which functions such as the perception of common and transcendent sensations and the recognition of aspects of the difference between objects and the perception of feeling are attributed to it. Although the topics of Aristotle's psychology have always been of special interest to thinkers, there are still questions about the relationship and interaction between the soul, the senses of appearance and common sense, and the power of thought, which can only be studied carefully by top.
Methods: This article is written based on descriptive analytical method.
Ethical Considerations: From the beginning to the end of the article, the principle of honesty and trustworthiness has been observed.
Results: The importance of the special place of sensory perception in creative knowledg and the communication and interaction between the ego, external senses and common sense and the intellect are among the achievements of this article.
Conclusion: In this article, we have tried to introduce Aristotle's opinions with more order and accuracy and present the opinions of her commentators in a comprehensive manner at a glance.
