Thesis 2>58

Latin

Virtutem sensitiuam sensus communis, sicuti non a uirtutibus sensitiuis sensuum exteriorum, ut dixit conclusio .xxx., ita nec a uirtutibus sensitiuis

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 19782

English

We assert, as true and as the view of both Aristotle and Plato, that the sensitive power of the common sense does not differ in subject — that is, in reality — from the sensitive powers of the exterior senses, as the thirtieth conclusion stated, and likewise does not so differ from the sensitive powers of the interior senses, whether the fantastic or imaginative, the cogitative, and the memorative.

Sense checked; no further crux.
