Theophrastus and the Greek Physiological Psychology before Aristotle — On Sense Perception

The following book was written by Theophrastus, the successor to Aristotle in the Peripatetic school. A treatise On Sense Perception and its objects is important for a knowledge of the doctrines of the more ancient Greek philosophers regarding the subject. A paraphrase and commentary on this work was written by Priscian of Lydia in the sixth century. With this type of work we may connect the fragments on Smells, on Fatigue, on Dizziness, on Sweat, on Swooning, on Palsy, and on Honey.
